To Do or To Be (part 2)

In the last two weeks I've barely slept, questioned my decision, and cried a thousand tears. The decisions and responsibilities in front of me seem overwhelming. My to-do list is ridiculous. That's the problem- I have been running around trying to figure out what I'm supposed to DO. This just leads to feelings of being overwhelmed and lots of tears. And then a dear friend gently reminded me that it's not about what I do, but about who I am supposed to be in the midst of the chaos. Her wise words: "When I don't know what to do, I simply remember who I am supposed to be. I know that in all situations, God wants me to bear the Fruit of the Spirit. This is my compass and often I need to reset my life and get back on track. I may not know what decision to make, but I know that I am to display love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control." And so a dozen times I day I look at the compass and re-orient myself to walk the right direction.
