Do I ever say no?

I was visiting with my good ol' friend, Anna, today and she asked me how one of my study groups went (I had told her previously that I had to go to one). I told her it went fine but I had a lot of work to do because my group delegated everything to do to me.

She told me that I need to learn to say "no" to people. . . that's a hard one for me. I like making people happy (even if it means doing more than my share of the work). I didn't really think that I had a problem with saying "no" until I got home and started working on all of the things that my group delegated me to do. Then I got a call from my sister-in-law asking me to come to dinner with her. Don't get me wrong. . . I wanted to go to dinner, I just knew that I didn't have the time. But I told her that I would because it would make her happy. So now I will stay up all night getting everything else finished.

I have a disease called Okay, whatever you want.

It's just like Dominoes, once you start saying "yes" you never can seem to stop. You just keep falling into something else.

I have a problem. . . and I'm going to start dealing with it.

Wow, what a week!

I am writing this blog mainly because I need a break from life. I don't even know where to begin to enlighten you about what's going on right now. Maybe I won't begin. Instead, I'll just say that I'm REALLY stressed (for lack of a better word) and could use a little prayer from all of you!

It always seems that when I can't handle one more thing, God wants to push me, so He throws a few more things my way.

When are some times in your life when God has pushed you beyond your limits?

Leave me some good tips for stress management/reduction!

I'm a bad blogger

Lots of people have been telling me that I haven't been blogging lately. . . thanks for pointing out the obvious. (chuckles to self)

I realize that I may not be the best blogger in the world because I don't really keep up with it as much as I should. But I haven't because there are a lot of other things in my life that have taken higher priority. Like: Jesus, school, work, homework, people, and sleeping. I think that maybe I should move it up on the list of priorities though because keeping in contact with you and self-disclosure is very important. So I am trying to do better, thus this blog that you are reading.

It's good to be back!
