He's done it several times to me. Clever guy, isn't he? :) I think God uses illness a lot to slow us down when we get too much on our plate. He’s done it several times to me.

It works and I've been meaning to thank you, so thanks. Glad to hear that you're doing better, mine held on for six weeks and seems to come and go as it pleases. Take care.

Isn't it nice to know someone is looking out for you even if it means you are going to get knocked for a blow. As women, moms, daughters, co-workers, we tend to put on the hat that defines us as the nurturer. Unfortunately, we don't always remember to take care of ourselves.

I have been through this same thing...several times...for the same reasons. You'd think I'd learn after a while. I regularly have to remind myself to just relax and be still, but often have trouble because of all of the to-do lists in my head. This is one of my biggest prayers for myself...that I will manage only what He wants me to and everything else will take care of itself. It's amazing how that prayer works! Take care of yourself-your family does need you to be around to be the wife/mom you are meant to be. He really has a way of getting our attention sometimes, doesn’t He?

On one hand I enjoy being involved and busy, but on the other hand they will suck you dry if you allow them too. We've found a pretty good balance in our current church, we're both involved (me - snacks and washing of cups Wife- organizing singers and singing) but neither requires several evening commitments or having to be there early every week. I sometimes wonder if Trent over at the simpledollar has several clones, how he manges to keep on top of everything considering he and his wife both work full time and have young children is beyond me. Maybe he never sleeps?? It was an adjust to for me heading back to work after being a house husband for 5 years and we don't have kids to deal with. Hi Lynnae

God slapped me with that one the day after Christmas and it took a while to climb back out. I have been spending the morning with the Lord for about 15-20 minutes and it makes ALL the difference in the world to have that recharge time being with Him! Good luck on making this important time a mandatory part of your day. It's hard, but possible!! Glad you are getting back on your feet!

Last year it was a knee injury and sickness, the year before that it was something else, and the year before that something else. Yeah--I am still working on getting still. :) It is always amazing when He does it though. Freeing yet awe inspiring not to mention inspiring quite a bit of soul searching and "what is His plan for me?" Glad you are feeling better. God is good.

It is amazing at what has to happen for us to slow us down sometimes. You have made a wonderful decision about slowing down every morning to be with God. We have found that even a small amount (15-30 min.) of time will make a HUGE difference. Glad that you are feeling better. It is amazing at what has to happen for us to slow us down sometimes.

But we weren't. Hope this week goes much better for you! *hugs* It’s interesting, you know, we could have been designed not to need recharging. But we weren’t.
