I'm Pooped
If you asked me the question "So, what do you do all day?" (which many people do) I honestly would not be able to tell you, other than that I take care of Javen's needs. This is crazy to me, because most days I literally hardly sit down, except to eat lunch. At at the end of the day, even though I've done a lot, I feel like I haven't completed anything. I've come to the conclusion that the reason this, is because I'm over-committed. I am doing a whole lot, but none of it is being done whole heartedly, or with excellence. This has led to an almost constant state of frustration. I know that I need to start raising up leaders to fill my shoes when it comes to ministry. I know that there is lots of talent and potential within Rock Church, and I just need to be willing to invest some time into developing these potential leaders. At this stage of my life, my family needs to be my number one ministry. I feel like they are the ones suffering the most because my mind, and time is focused on so many other things, and other people. I need to stop being such a "yes" person, and be willing to let some people down if I say no. I am worn out! Physically and emotionally. Have any of you ever felt this way? How have you handled it???

lots of coffee, like lots of it, and a steady iTunes playlist
Take some time to yourself...think about it...Do you ever spend time completely alone, even if it's just an hour or so...spend some time alone not running around cleaning, or anything, just relaxing...and also when all you do is go go go and forget where your day has gone you have to try and calm your mind also because then you relax and your mind is still going "oh i forgot to clean this, oh i forgot that"...your body is relaxing, but your mind is still running 100mph! RELAX!
I love you babe!
I got my opinions!
Funny you should post a blog about this because I have been battling a similiar issue myself. TIME...where does it go and how do you make the most of it! Honestly I agree you need to take some "Rejuvinating" time for yourself. Although this may sound cliche, go workout for 30 minutes and let the endorphins flow...I know it has helped me battle fatigue lately! That can affect your mind and body :-)
I'm pooped too..I think God is telling me I need to quit my job. :o) Oh, maybe not.
