Don't become overwhelmed

Well I feel like I need to introduce myself, I been off line so long. Yes it has been a month since you heard from me on a blog. Today's blog will address that. I had been working extremely hard for the last year and a half without a real break, and I was about to start "smelling like smoke". This is my phrase for becoming so overwhelmed and burned out, that you are in danger of saying or doing something that could affect eternity. Here are some steps to keep yourself from "smelling like smoke" First, make sure your life is balanced. By this I mean, keep a good balance in your life between work, family, play or fun time, and rest. For me, I needed some good rest. Next, re-focus on your passion, you know the thing that drives and motivates you to push forward. Then, make sure you are  giving God the opportunity to lead you and be with you.  Remember the burning bush in the Old Testament, it burned but was not consumed.  If God's presence is filling your life, you won't be consumed by the pressures of life. Last, keep your heart pure. By this I mean, do't let offense or hurt fill your heart. Well,  more to come...
