The Desire To Do Too Much

I feel better when I am busy so sitting around recovering iis not a very easy thing for me to do. If I feel okay then I think i can do a little bit more but the truth is I have realized I can not. That is a fact which is hard for me to accept. I tried a couple of simple tasks today that took at the most 30 minutes but I could not believe how much effort those things took.

I have decided that often I find my identity in what I do. For example if someone where to ask me who I am I, I would tell them what I do for a living. But the person I am is a lot more than being a minister. When I take time to look at my life by who I am there are several qualities that make up my life, things that can't be measured or are a part of any profession. So I need to celebrate the person I am and the gifts I have and by just what I do.

When I come to that realization in this place in time I then I do not have to do anything just be who I am a child of God in need of healing and renewal.
