Tired.

I have been carrying a schedule that doesn't have much room to add much of anything. I often wonder when my body is going to just shut down. Have you ever pushed yourself to the point when your body just starts shutting down and you have no choice but to do nothing but relax and sleep. I have hit those points many times and I can see the same thing on the horizon...

My schedule has a 50 - 55 hour 6 day work week, a school schedule of 6 hours a week of class time, a couple of hours a week working of on a Church plant, reading and/or studying for school for 8 - 15 hours a week, I have two great little girls to spend time with, selling and building a house, still involved in another ministry and a small group to attend every other week. My body is aching and tired....

I am trusting that God will continue to provide the energy I need when I need it. I often try to study or read and wake up some ten or fifteen minutes later.... I know I am pushing myself to hard and I know my grades will suffer if I do not find time to rest.... I am praying that God will provide me with some wisdom in this area of my life. I need to reduce my work load so I can live and not just work....

God I pray that you will continue to use me and I pray that I learn how to manage life and learn to rest. God please continue to push me, I do not want to slow down I just want to learn how to rest..... Amen.

He will give you the energy just keep praying and believing it. I to have a busy life stile right now. I have 2 full time jobs. I work at the VA for the first job and I'm a associate pastor for the second. I know it's what God wants me to do. So I know that he'll give me the energy to do it. Keep up the good work. PJ
