I'm not well, so I'm going to take Sunday & Monday off sick. Because I'm always tired & a bit sniffly with asthma, I don't realise I'm under the weather until it's gone too far!
I always do too much, in the last few weeks I have had a LOT i.e. at least 5, older women come & tell me to slow down, prioritise & put the family above other things.
Wanting to put God first often means I mistakenly put things of church and Bible study Fellowship above caring for my family. I know I'm not the only one!
My main thought from our study of Genesis 1&2 are of how much He loves, LOVEs us. and how He sustains & looks over us, sorting things out. Listen to the lesson Marian! He will sustain me for the work He has given me. When we have committed to a christian work, there is an awful fear of leaving that work as we will be Letting People Down, and surely those people will see it as a Lack Of Commitment, to the work and to HIM.
I have grown a lot, become more reliable & responsible & useful in the last year or two, and that has brought new works my way. But I am doing enough work for two or three people at the moment and The LORD does not ordain this. He Is Able! Remember if i died (or was ill or whatever) The Lord's plans would not be thwarted and He would be Able! I must pray and listen, and He will make changes so I can look after my family as He would want.
Peace out!
