If you are anything like me, you can become quite skilled at
putting off your happily-ever-after. Maybe you’ve said things like …
"Once I get this work done" …
"When things slow down at work" …
"When this crazy month is over" …
"In just a minute" …
"When things slow down at work" …
"When this crazy month is over" …
"In just a minute" …
But once the work is complete, the minute has passed and the
busy month has concluded, something else always comes up. Your "one more
thing" has no end.
That’s when things start to happen: You drive into the
intersection before it’s your turn because you’re tired and distracted … you
scream at the ones you love the most because you’re stretched too thin … you
wake up feeling irritable and unhappy despite the abundant blessings in your
life.
I informed my internal over-achiever that I would no longer be
everything to everyone. I realized that continually saying yes to everything
outside the home meant saying no to the most important things inside the home. God showed me that in order to be
joyfully fulfilled, I must choose to place my time and energy in what (and who)
mattered most.
That my friends is, God first and foremost. Family second, and everything following.
