No more burn out!

“… This is no way to go about it.  You’ll burn out…  This is way too much for you – you can’t do this alone…  Keep a sharp eye out for competent men – men who fear God, men of integrity, men who are incorruptible… They will share your load and that will make it easier for you.  If you handle the work this way, you’ll have the strength to carry out whatever God commands you, and the people in their settings will flourish also.”  Exodus 18:17-23, The Message

Some of us aren’t so good at asking for help, which means, some of us are really good at burning out.  Well, life is just too short!  God has a big plan for our lives and burning out is not one of them.  So, next time we feel we have the world packed on our shoulders, let’s start finding good women and men of God to lend a helping hand.  They are out there, and with prayer and patience, we will find them.  Not only that, when we ask for help, we are giving another person a chance to shine in their field, which helps us to shine even brighter in ours, and that is definitely something we can all use more of.
