I'm so glad I found your blog! You ...Glynnis,<br /><br />I'm so glad I found your blog! You speak wisdom and His truth to my heart! I read your devotional today (2-10-11) on Proverbs 31 Ministries and kept going on to your other blogs.<br /><br />This particular post is very close to my heart. In previous years, I have totally over-committed myself, especially around the holidays. I would get so stressed out about my "to-do" lists and it was driving my husband nuts!!! He, in his dear sweet way, put his foot down and said NO MORE! I was trying to be everything for everybody and it was wreaking havoc on my home life. So, with prayer and some struggles, I decided that, YES, MY TIME WITH MY FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME . . . AND THEM! So, I cut out just about everything except one local charity that is near and dear to our whole family and we participate in this together. I can now easily tell people NO and know in my heart that I am doing what's best for me and my family. I feel so much peace in my life now. Thank you for your kind words of wisdom on this subject! I also thank the Lord for His direction and guidance in this as well as the sweet admonition from my husband. My husband saw from the outside what was going on and was able to help me "reel" myself in. <br /><br />Many blessings to you,<br />NikiiNikiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822843093380082236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136547616177163141.post-22953409092384561472011-01-31T07:28:41.015-08:002011-01-31T07:28:41.015-08:00Glynis, that was such a timely blog.

I hope that younger women can learn this earlier than I did, cause it is so freeing to be able to be in charge of ones own life. Thanks again for the reminder. I so enjoy your blog.<br />arlene<br />ajh129@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136547616177163141.post-53925151491034373012011-01-31T06:33:59.552-08:002011-01-31T06:33:59.552-08:00Glynis, thank you so much for this.

One thing I have recently done...it doesn't necessarily have to do with saying "no" but it has helped with me overextending myself. I am the Ladies leader at my church. Instead of everything being on me to handle everything I have asked for mothly volunteers. Jeannie signed up for February so in February, Jeannie will be my "go to" person. She will assist me in our fundraiser for the month, our meeting for the month or anything else I might need help with. This was not easy for me but I believe God spoke this right to my heart so that I would not get overwhelmed. Thanks again for all you do!<br />Tasha<br />tcantrell@choctawnation.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
