Who would have thunk it that being a Servant and having a servant's heart can lead to pride which leads to idol worship...namely look at all this stuff I am doing for God's glory! Great thoughts here, NEEDED thoughts here! Keep sharing and encouraging us to keep our eyes, and our time focused on HIM...and lets all remember not only the word "No" but how about "Can You Help out?" Think of who you might let God grow and bless by letting someone else serve and do....Hmmmm share the torch???what a concept. Peace and Joy for the Journey! Wow!

I'm in a busy 'season' this week with our VBS leader kickoff this week. I've broken or come close to just about every boundary that I've set in my ministry and life this week. I keep saying it will die down after this week, but we all know that never happens. I started some great habits and practices after CPC this year, and slowly I've let busyness take over again. Thanks for the reminder. Wow…needed that.

Families within our ministries and with whom we have relationships will begin to take on our personalities. We don't want them to take the "crammed-life" personality. It's a little easier in my ministry situation/region. We worship in rented facilities and only have the building for one night per week. Our mid-week home groups meet every other week so we aren't cramming too much "stuff" in our schedules. Good post and thoughts!
