Sometimes I just need to say no. Its tough. I always seem to disregard the fact that there are other people besides myself that have the ability, availability and talents to accomplish something. I am a busy person, what with work, running the youth group, leading various worship events. I've had to schedule time to hang with friends, and the only opening I had was 2.5 weeks away. Last week I said no. This week I said yes. The difference between them, one is a one time event (this weeks). Last week was a weekly event. One extra thing I can handle every so often. A weekly thing is something I seriously don't have time for. I need to learn not to feel guilty if I'm unable to do something. To sometimes take a step back, and make sure I actually have time for me. Time to spend with friends, time to keep my sanity. Time to not be burned out. Occasional breathers are a must. I need to have a life of my own. Time to pursue my interests, my desires, and most importantly, time to spend with God before I conk out at the end of the day.

I love the things That I'm spending time on. The issue is that I tend to say yes toO many times,thus filling m plate so full I lack time to do anything but Commitments. Its tiring.

I feel that my time is managed pretty wisely, and as long as I remember that I can say no, (and not feel guilty about it) I can go on my merry way and be happy. The current reason why I'm ranting is because I've booked my self for so much these last couple months and spread myself so thin (and next month!) that Its been tough to find time do anything other than be places or preparing for things that I committed to. April will be nice. April I will finally have a chance to relax.
Oh April, you can hardly come soon enough!
