I'm sure no one thinks that of you, either. ;) <br />Encouragement, and that book that needs editing are important things, but living everyday for itself is important too. :) <br /><br />Thanks for commenting! :D Faith P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12321422384005620538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765609215944755752.post-28848702295716110602015-09-05T11:34:05.391-04:002015-09-05T11:34:05.391-04:00It has to be something about us pastor's kids....It has to be something about us pastor's kids...I FEEL THIS WAY ALLLL THE TIME!!!

As I'm getting ready for work I'm thinking in my mind about all the emails/blog posts/stories I need to read/edit/reply to, and thinking, "Gosh, I'm such a bad friend. I have all these friends I want to encourage and help out and I'm not doing a good job."<br />The truth is the world will keep spinning without me, and I will get to those things but I need to take a deep breath and rest assured it's not the end of the world and everyone doesn't need me to help them/encourage them to keep on going, though encouragement is important, too. I guess in a way I think too highly of myself and think if I don't tell someone something they'll be offended I didn't respond or read their story or what not. ;) I will do all these things, but it's okay to take a break and breather and write some of my stuff. (Though self control is important, too. Like that book in the back of my desk that's been waiting to be edited since May... ;D) Thanks for writing this post, I really enjoyed it and it definitely lifted my spirits as I head off to work. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04907062710630466969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765609215944755752.post-10605325556726192502015-09-05T08:34:12.228-04:002015-09-05T08:34:12.228-04:00Quietly?

It's so much more enjoyable. <br />I just love Anne-girl. :-) I haven't read all the books yet...maybe that will happen soon. Only when I want to, though! LOL. <br />Thanks for commenting!

So slow down and enjoy it if if there are 100 things you need to do!! Sometimes this is when Jesus wants you to see something as He does and if your running around ( in your mind or literally ) like a chicken with its head cut off you will miss it! Take it from someone with 40+ years experience. Live each moment to the fullest sometimes means quietly and thoughtfully!

But then I was like "Who said I needed to do it?" The thought startled me and I was like "Well, no one. I told myself I had to do it." So instead of spending the hour replying to emails and writing, I got a glass of my favorite sweet iced tea and sat down and watched a movie that I'd been wanting to watch for a while. And you know what? All my projects were still there for me to work on the next day! And I had so much more fun working on them because I wasn't forcing myself anymore. If I couldn't write, that was fine. My story was still there waiting for me when I came back. ;) <br />Oh, yes! It's been years since I read the Anne books. . .reading the quote makes me want to read them all over again! :) Jesseca Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248251614365079067noreply@blogger.com
