Sherri what a great link and wonderful read you shared!
Thank you for sharing yourself on my blog! I remember one time back in the day when I was really stressed because I was doing so much within the church. I had a very good friend of mine tell me such wise words.. "Just because it is of God doesn't mean it is good for you". I seriously took that to heart, pondered on it, and prayed about it and realized that even though the things I was doing were for God's glory, I too was lacking of where my heart and time should have been, with my family. Sometimes I think we can get caught up in what we are doing for God's kingdom and forget about major things or people in our lives.
As much as this is a trying time for you and learning something new, God will honor your obedience and your family will cherish you all the more for it!
