In the classes I am teaching for our church one of the things I have emphasized on multiple occasions is the idea of not over-committing yourself or your children's time. The world is too busy and we see burnout far too often. The non-stop schedules that are kept often impede the growth of the family unit, and the vital development of an array of necessary skills.
Today I am taking my own advice. In order to keep my mind sharp and to better protect my time I will be signing off from this blog, for a season. During the off time I will be looking to rejuvenate my mind and allow some additional margin into my schedule. This will also allow me to have more capacity for the things that remain on my calendar, including some upcoming challenges in my workplace.
At some point in the (not too distant?) future I expect to return to the blogosphere. It is not currently clear to me whether it will be with a renewed focus or intent on the Workout Your Faith concept or if it will be starting with a clean slate and a new concept. Time will tell and for now I will leave you with this thought:
Be willing to say no, selectively. Involvement is a great and wonderful thing, but over-involvement can be crippling. Take care of your relationship with God and He will help you take care of everything else.
Workout Your Faith is here to help you integrate your Christian faith with your daily life. A positive faith with a wealth of knowledge opens our eyes to the possibilities of living in abundance as God provides for us.
