My To Do List has always been very lengthy. I often find myself struggling between the ever increasing list and a shortage of time to check everything off. I've been feeling this self induced pressure over the last few months more than ever.
During The Mom Squad Luncheon this past weekend, Linda Isaiah encouraged the women in attendance to stop being so busy. I felt like she was talking directly to me. If my well intended "busyness" was causing me to be stressed, frazzled and in Linda's terms "nasty," then I wasn't doing myself any good.
Honestly, it was going to be really hard for me to give anything up, because my calendar is full of really great things. And for months while I've been trying to ignore the fact that there was a problem with my overly full schedule, I've also been praying for God to give me clear direction on what to do, or more likely what to stop doing.
Just recently, he provided me the direction I needed. And while I'm sad to leave the group, God has given me the peace to know that it is OK to take a step back from The Mom Squad ministry.
I plan to continue to be involved, but instead of being part of the Mom Squad panel, I'll be a participant from the other side. I'm thankful for the time I spent as a Mom Squad Contributor and for the opportunity to meet and get to know everyone involved with the ministry.
God Bless!
