We have enforced that every Sunday is his Sabbath where he does nothing school or work related. It's been going well! And we have mini vacations set up each month also. He's been working for 6 years and hasn't had a vacation. I on the other had and working through telling myself that I'm valuable without a job/paycheck coming in. .-= lencib´s last blog ..<a href="http://fallingintofavor.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/monday/" rel="nofollow">Monday!</a> =-.

We mistakenly believe that we have to do this and that, and that if we don't, it won't be done right, or won't be done at all. Sometimes we need to just let go and let things happen, but our messiah complexes get in the way. It's like a splash of cold water, those moments when we can imagine the vast power of God. At that moment, we realize--however briefly--our own insignificance. Somehow that puts it all into perspective. Now if we could bottle that for those times when that idea isn't as much as a speck of dust on your personal radar screens... .-= Kevin@OutOfY0urRut´s last blog ..<a href="http://outofyourrut.com/blog/2010/03/21/making-money-goes-to-money-work-for-you/" rel="nofollow">Making Money-Goes-to-Money Work For You</a> =-.

I heard an analogy for BUSY before being Bounded Under Satan's Yoke. Sometimes we get so busy and wrapped up that nothing is done effectively. I've been guilty of this in the past and sometimes still find myself with more on my plate than I should have. Too often we wear our busyness like a badge of honor, when in reality something is lacking. Even Jesus stole away from His disciples and rested! It's all about balance. Thank you for this reminder!
