What should we do if we think we don't have any more to give
I came across a video that I thought fit well with what we talked about on Tuesday. The video is technically about motherhood and what do you do when you feel like you don't have more to give. However, I saw parallels to what we were talking about in the 1st verse of our seedpack. I remember Heather talking about how the verse says when you give not if you give. I like what is talked about in the video of what we should do when we think we have nothing to give. I'm standing here I either am physically seeing the need or feeling the need, but I don't know how to fulfill it. While we were talking about the attitude we should have about not seeking attention when we give there's another side of where will the time and energy come if I think I am being called to give. It's that panicky sense of has God taken a break and forgotten to recharge me before I run out of time, energy, abilities, etc. to give?!

ReplyDeleteMaybe I like this video so much because I vividly remember having exactly the same thought as she did about taking up smoking when I was in grad school. I didn't really want to smoke, but man for some reason there was this strange thing that for an instant it seemed like such a good idea! Thankfully that pull eventually passed and I didn't have a bad habit that needed to be broken. Ahh the craziness that can go through your mind in those times....
ReplyDeleteI know I do the stand by the trash can bit when I need a little quiet time.
