are you doing too much?

Hi there,
It's been a while since I've been here.
The rain has been coming down, but there's blue sky about, so the thunder will stop soon.

I've been at work, and it's been great being back in my little kitchen.

After work, I caught up with my friend, i haven't seen in 6 weeks, and we were talking about what's been happening, and all the things around.
The people who's left us, and the new people coming in.
But we talked about work loads, and all that entails, my friend what is happening to you?
Are  you finding yourself in a near burnt out stage?
Are you finding that, no one is there for you, in the work that you need to do?
Or perhaps, you're falling on others because they just do it better?
How can we become good leaders?
I can't tell you, but whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
And take note on things that need doing.
There's nothing more frustrating with working with someone who is full of excuses.
Taking responsibility, is a learning, and i'm learning to take responsibility, for my own actions.
And yes there are some lovely things that my parents do, like register my car so I try not to get a fine, or get my library books back on time, so i don't get fines, and yes sometimes I fail, and I fail every day.
I'm probably failing right now.
The sunshine is out, and when we stop trying to be perfect, we find ourselves, the Cross has made you flawless.
However, with God's great love, and acceptance, he also wants us to pull our weight.
And work together as a team, the Paul illustrates this, that in Acts, and all through it, he tells us to believe and to put our trust in Christ, he went into cities, and churches, to talk to them about the freeing love of Christ.
Perhaps, you've been there, done that, know what i'm talking about, but I want to share with you, something.
Because God is a God of freedom, and if you're finding yourself in a trap, of work, or dangerous things, you can get out, you can escape.
We are only human, souls on earth, that are mortal, we won't and can't live forever, no matter if you hide it with work, or wrong relationships, or drink or what ever you find yourself doing.
Don't wash your hands saying that it's not a problem, or it will all go away.
It won't, and we need to talk about it, because a lot of people are in churches getting burnt out.
Or perhaps you're looking around and you don't know your friends anymore.
My friend, God is that light house, in the darkness.
In the storm that seems ever so big and waves are crashing around, light houses, were built to shine, out so that the boats wouldn't crash on the shore.
My firmed if you're wanting peace in your troubled sea, go to God.
You don't have to be strong anymore, walking on your own 2 feet.
God is there with you, and he doesn't use only Christians, either.
We will be more effective, if we do what God says to do, what he says in his word,  walk humbly with your God, and obey him and others.
Well that's all I have today.
Chloe
