“Your family and friends can’t draw from an empty well. It isn’t selfish to spend time caring for you, doing what you love, what replenishes you, to make sure you have energy and courage to give to those who rely on you.”
— Hank Smith
It’s ok to take time! It’s ok to focus on yourself and it’s ok to say no, but remember to come back! Many people burn themselves out in the church, and others’ have no problem with boundaries in the church. Finding a balance between serving in the Kingdom of God on the Earth and recharging is delicate, but one which requires both portions to be tended to so we can be our best self.
