As I sit here in this doctor’s office I have to be honest with myself. Over the last six weeks, I have been overdoing it. I have pushed my body far beyond what I normally would because I’ve been trying to help everybody I possibly can. I’ve said yes when my body was screaming no. I’ve kept pushing because I never want anyone to feel like they’re without help, but today, I realize I have to do better at taking care of LaShonda too.
I have been in so much pain lately that, as of right now, I’m not even able to walk like I normally can. So for a season, I have to slow down, listen to my body, rest, and most importantly, listen for the voice of God before I make another move.
So if I told you I would pick something up, drop something off, collect donations, or get items to you, please forgive me and give me some time. I am not forgetting you. I am not ignoring you. I simply need time to rest, get myself together, and get back on my feet.
I love helping people. That part of me isn’t changing, but I’m learning that I cannot pour from an empty, hurting vessel.
For now, I’m pressing pause...not because I don’t care, but because I need to care for the person God has entrusted me with too. Please keep me in your prayers. When I am ready and able, I will reach back out.
Sometimes faith looks like serving.
Sometimes faith looks like saying “Lord, I need You to help me rest.”
And today, that’s where I am.
