“Take care of yourself. Do what you need to do to stop running on empty. That is what makes life work. That is what brings actual joy and peace.”
The Trench Reality:
Giving Yourself Permission
I had to learn to stop carrying the weight of the world and give myself permission to stop. I had to stop taking the blame for every single thing that went wrong and recognize exactly what I had done to hold myself back. You have to learn to establish your perimeter. You have to give yourself permission to say no.
Taking care of yourself is a strict spiritual discipline. It is absolutely essential if you are going to execute what God has called you to do on the front lines.
According to Texas: This week, I am giving you the command to give yourself permission. Drop the shield. Take care of yourself. Do what you need to do.


Wow Texas- you do get to the point- amen. Thank you- Sandy
