Thank you for writing about your struggles -- it encourages me to come to grips with my own.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082544337347129322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-21594850235568049192012-04-13T18:18:27.679-04:002012-04-13T18:18:27.679-04:00Thanks Annie!

I'm part of something at my church that is good in theory, but has turned out to be a source of negative, consuming stress. I've been so worried about "quitting," because I don't want to walk away from every hard thing--I know that life isn't always easy. But I've realized that I am allowed to control my own life, listen to myself (and to God), and make the smart, healthy decisions. Thanks so much for writing about this--I really needed to read it.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882610343505172301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-21251152157774114152012-04-11T19:42:17.418-04:002012-04-11T19:42:17.418-04:00My son reminded me of something he recently learne...My son reminded me of something he recently learned in discipleship with a friend of ours, "Jesus had 3 years to change the world. He never hurried. He always took time for people. He always got alone with his Father." This really helps an overly busy, overachiever, think I have to do it all mom. God doesn't ask us to do everything, just in everything we do, do it for His glory.

But it makes life livable. I do school/work, serve at Ethos, and climb whenever I can. And I'm happy. <br /><br />Cut some stuff out of your life, FOR GOOD!

And I agree with Hayley, that it is societal more than Biblical.<br />Set priorities and make those things important, and let some of the other things fall away.<br />Rest IS good.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086555248440242844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-80097063922777378872012-04-11T11:02:02.853-04:002012-04-11T11:02:02.853-04:00I think Jesus would have words for our busy busy d...I think Jesus would have words for our busy busy do do go go Church culture these days. I don't think we're necessarily called to DO more or be involved in more. I think it's societal more than biblical. Rest is good, friend. :)Hayley at The Tiny Twighttp://www.thetinytwig.comnoreply@blogger.com
