I have been going through a hard season in ministry and all that you said is so true. i would love to read this book. If I don't win it, i will likely have to buy me a copy. I so want to read it...I feel I need it.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845050304928353063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-43111129581113378612010-02-06T18:27:40.717-06:002010-02-06T18:27:40.717-06:00The never ending battle of discerning what our tim...The never ending battle of discerning what our time is for... this is for me a daily battle and also changes a little each day.

I've never heard the phrase "you are the average of the five people you spent the most time with" but it totally makes sense. I also made me realize there are people in my life I need to take a step back from ~one friend in particular. Not that's it's a bad relationship but it can be a draining one for me at times. <br />I look forward to more of your thoughts on the book.Becca~CapturingSimpleJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269232073211009288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-73849902020266428762010-02-06T10:33:09.968-06:002010-02-06T10:33:09.968-06:00I watched every season of 24 until last year . . ....I watched every season of 24 until last year . . . somehow I lost interest.

Could really mean "going light!", because His presence is so much more refreshing while other's words can be very draining. huh? <br /><br />Learning to say "no" is a huge deal for a pastor's wife. You can also ask God what are your true "assignments" in prayer or in time use. Then you can say to others, "I'm sorry but that us not my assignment right now." I think you already listed your assignments!Brenda Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842228644349167297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-2197794348640819472010-02-05T15:04:25.469-06:002010-02-05T15:04:25.469-06:00Thank you so much for sharing!

I think at times we all have "toxic" relationships that drain us or side track us. <br /><br />This is especially powerful, "My first priority needs to be my time with Jesus. I need to be selfish about it. If I answer that phone before my time with Him, then I've just moved Him to less important than ministry." So, so true! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.

You're right, it is tricky and to balance all of the stuff that comes along with ministry is tough. I need those "going dark" moments often also or else my FATHER'S voice is so hard to hear. I often uplift my sisters who are walking this journey called "pastors wife" along with me ~ that we walk humbly with our God, love our husbands passionately, and show Jesus to our children every day! I'll be back on Monday to enter!Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13820589839557526755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-45637636733943099552010-02-05T10:56:24.347-06:002010-02-05T10:56:24.347-06:00I love this and I miss your posts. :)I love this and I miss your posts. :)Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908185560435429588.post-52218043747685980712010-02-05T10:34:37.247-06:002010-02-05T10:34:37.247-06:00Man, I so want to get this book!
