Setting
goals for scripture reading-
in
chapters instead of in change,
I
am so anxious to accomplish
that
I forget to allow time for
Feeling
overwhelmed
with
all I need to do,
I
forget what is truly important.
Accepting
every good thing
dozens
of women do,
as
a “must do now” for me,
I
spend my time making endless lists,
only
to despair at how little I get done.
Amazingly,
I never question “society's” demands,
nor
do I stop and ask the Lord
if
these are the things He wants me to do.
I
doggedly trudge on,
in
full martyr regalia,
becoming
more and more exhausted
as
I push myself to do
every
good thing right now.
Finally,
my life becomes a misery of “shoulds”,
obliterating
the joy Heavenly Father
intends
for me.
