Saying No

Do you ever look at your life, or even your day, and wonder how you became SO BUSY?

As a wife and mommy, my desire is to take care of and serve my family well. I'm also not just a wife and mommy. I have an extended family, friends, a church family, I am an Independent Consultant for Thirty-One, I have a blog, and I like to paint and decorate.

There are so many things, good things, that are competing for my time.

I am a lot of different things, but I really am a wife and mommy first. I need to make sure that the things I am choosing to spend my time on reflect my priorities.

I am learning that this means that I sometimes have to say no. Not because what others are asking me to do is bad or something that I don't want to do, but because it can make my real priorities not look like priorities any more.
