Apparently, I have this problem saying no. I think what it comes down to is the fact that I'm a busy person. Most of the pastors at my church say that busy people can always make time for more. That is so me. Everyone knows it. Usually, I have at least one person tell me that I need to say no to things. I don't want to. I really like getting to have a hand in things, being responsible for stuff, and making time for new things. Yeah, that's me. But seriously, it can be unhealthy sometimes. Okay, most of the time.
Because when you say yes to most everything, you hardly get any rest time. Today, I got called a ray of sunshine. Hearing those things helps me know that what I'm doing and who I am is not of myself. There is no possible way that I could be the way that I am without God. Which means, the answer to saying no, is asking God for the ability to do so.
For I am the LORD your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
Isaiah 41:13
