We all have many things
that take up our time. To do these things we lose sleep,
we skip meals; we over-eat or under-eat. Before you know
it, we've let ourselves go. Our homes suffer and so do our
families. So, how do we get control over all these
wonderful things that we just know God wants us to do?
I believe that God knows we're not "wonder women," but we
are "wonderfully made women." Many times we're the
ones who make the endless to-do lists that no human could
possibly get done. We're not candles that can be burned at
both ends.
Maybe each of us needs to
take a look at what we're doing and see if we're robbing the
blessings from someone else who could do some of those things we
think only WE can do! That's the phrase I heard one of our
WAG leaders say as she spoke from experience. She said she
just knew she should step up to the plate so that a certain
event would go forward. She knew how to do it, and do it
well. But God laid on her heart that if she did take over,
it would steal the blessing from another.
The moral of the story is
this: don't overload. Seek God...really seek Him
and see what He wants you to do - or maybe not do.
Don't be afraid to say "no." Make time for yourself to
just be "home" - you remember, that place where you used to feel
relaxed, joyful, and not running in circles trying to get that
last load of laundry done at 11:00 at night.
We don't need to be a
bunch of "Marthas", but rather to focus on becoming the "Marys"
who sit at the feet of Jesus. Remember sisters, you're not
"Wonder Women"...but you are "Wonderfully Made Women"! |
