Yes or No?
I am trying hard to not think this:
* I have to help.
* I'm not doing enough.
* I must step up.
* They need help.
* They need someone.
* They need me.
* Saying no lets someone down.
* They will be disappointed in me.
* I will have failed them.
* I will be a failure.
And I'm trying to think this:
* Michael is working so hard to support our family.
* He won't be working this hard forever.
* He is a wonderful husband and deserves support from me in any and all ways he requests.
* Kara will be small and home with me such a short time in her life.
* Such a short time in MY life.
* Raising her is a huge responsibility.
* Schooling her is a huge responsibility.
* They are both full time jobs.
* I am already busy.
* Already busy doing God's work.
* It's okay to say no.
* I'm already saying yes to God's big plan for my life.
* God does nothing but set me up for success.
"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." -- Galatians 1:10
