I think it is 100% okay to say no sometimes. Easier said than done of course but the way I look at it is that I have to say "no" to a few things so I can give what I REALLY care about my best self and my full attention. Saying a prayer for you!Katie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068822747732504872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-67874577820508519592014-08-19T13:06:43.873-04:002014-08-19T13:06:43.873-04:00I convinced my overwhelmed daughter to pay someone...I convinced my overwhelmed daughter to pay someone to come in and clean at least every two weeks. Find out the hourly charge and then figure out how many hours you can afford. Then prioritize what you want cleaned the most...I really changed her stress level and opened up a little bit of down time for her..<br />On aside note, learning to say no it the most freeing thing ever!!!!<br /><br />Hugs!debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684778217514244271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-60481735134645430812014-08-19T11:37:36.534-04:002014-08-19T11:37:36.534-04:00Great words girl!

I've been saying no and being a little selfish with our time on the weekends. Having time to sit at home and actually relax and do things we want to do has made such an amazing difference. Lately I've said no to blog stuff and social stuff. I don't want to let people down, but the stress I was feeling was just too much. Do what makes you happy! I'm praying for you :) MakeMeUpMiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843512847430222393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-49935253920564411612014-08-19T09:30:14.395-04:002014-08-19T09:30:14.395-04:00It is completely ok to say no!

I once had a full time job, went to school full time, was a wife and parent, taught bible study, sang in ye worship team, danced in the worship dance team, and was youth pastor. Do you think I was happy? I was doing so many things for The Lord, yet my busy schedule was taking away from my time with The Lord. So as much as I did for him I was beginning to not know the God I was doing it all for. I was tired, became resentful and bitter. Like how does a human do it all? You can't! You have to take rests. I hope the book does wonders for you Rebecca. It is great that you enjoy everything you do, but taking time to enjoy it all is also part of the package. :) Kendwy Valdezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402923699890922226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-9433902464983714652014-08-19T09:25:56.651-04:002014-08-19T09:25:56.651-04:00Such truth in this post, girl!

I don't have two full-time paying jobs, but I def have two full-time jobs and everything is taking a hit. I have really been praying about my hours at work.
