I'm still working on learning this, but God is faithful.Heather Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815204762105256632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323751709367685259.post-42819607602197655012011-10-23T06:05:53.225-05:002011-10-23T06:05:53.225-05:00Very very good post!

We often feel pressured that we aren't doing "enough" if we aren't involved in twenty different projects outside the home. That's distraction and a plan of the enemy to keep you from doing what God has planned for you and in the lives of your children! :) even the "good" stuff must take a back seat to our true calling as wives and mothers!<br /><br />One thing I've started to do is stop and ask myself, who am I denying a blessing to? I've prayed to God about showing which things He wants me to do (above and beyond my call of family/home) and those which He doesn't. All are good, solid volunteer projects for various ministries. He's been gracious enough to allow me to witness the effect of my learning to say "no". I've seen others rise up and take the mantle/volunteer position and the project flourishes under His will because that's who He wanted to handle it in the first place. :)Paper Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804837188857685396noreply@blogger.com
