God sends me encouragement just when I feel I’m at my lowest. Just when I think, “I might as well give up,” God steps in and lets me know to keep on keeping on. “Keep sharing words.” “Do not be silent.”
My husband tells me I sign up for too many things, I sign on for too much, and he’s right. But when I consider what I can give up, I can’t choose. There are so many great Bible studies and I just want to ingest all there is to learn about God and His word. I’m praying about it because I don’t want to be spread so thin that I’m not learning anything well. It’s better to learn a few things really well than to learn a lot of stuff and not have a good understanding because my brain is overloaded.
If He wants me to continue as I am, I pray for a sense of peace about it. If He doesn’t want me to do it all, then I pray He shows me what to let go of. Don’t be afraid to move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Just be sure that’s the plan, first.
