I'm sure the people you had to say "no" to and didn't get to reply to would understand. If not, oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38905723.post-70572141473308328662009-03-09T19:49:00.000-04:002009-03-09T19:49:00.000-04:00You are right on track with your priorities!

It is hard at times, especially when we have allowed people to take advantage but remember the commandment is to love your neighbor AS yourself- it is not loving yourself to be overextended!

I remember when the Lord finally taught me the word 'no'. How freeing. How blessed. Healthy boundaries, learning to prioritize, saying yes when it was God's will and not my flesh, or wanting to have people's approval. <BR/><BR/>Saying yes to everything is NOT wise, it is NOT what God desires for us. As Christians, we can struggle with that,,,Satan uses it against us,,'what kind of Christian are you, how can you say no, they NEED you, how can you turn them away'. lies, lies, lies. <BR/><BR/>This was a VERY powerful post.

I can only imagine what you were going through and people should have been asking what they could do to help you and your family!!! <BR/><BR/>Wish I lived close so I could have helped out during that time but I know if you have snow we don't live anywhere close :)Stephanie @ My Answered Prayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683822293475850157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38905723.post-86695442964948158132009-03-09T17:04:00.000-04:002009-03-09T17:04:00.000-04:00Well between your post and the two comments, that ...Well between your post and the two comments, that about sums it up.

Thanks for the award. Forgive my delay in expressing my gratitude. I don't have to tell you how it is to have a spouse that is not at home. Sylvia returns this weekend. I'm trying hard not to count the hours . . .<BR/>God bless. We continue to pray for your and your hubby.Secondary Roadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116234285533139701noreply@blogger.com
