uh oh…guess who’s blogging again??
Over the next few posts I’m going to share some things that I’ve learned in the last year. Some of it is funny, some of it is serious. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve loved, I’ve lost.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned over the last year is that I can’t be everything for everyone…I can’t even be everything for myself. I’ve spread myself thin and forgotten to take care of myself. I’ve felt the need to be everything for everyone, and that’s just not possible. I’ve been insanely close to God, and I’ve fallen away just to lay it all down and say I can’t do it one more time. I’ve grown and I’ve been broken down. Through all of this I’ve learned that it’s ok to rely on other people-it’s ok to not be everything for everyone. There is no way I can help anyone if I can’t keep myself where I need to be.
By the way, I have to constantly work on this every day. I still have a desire to make everyone happy, and it kills me when I have to say no or hurt someone.
