In prayer this morning something major was brought to my attention. I was thinking about an individual that I hadnt seen or heard from in a while. I was almost moved to try and contact them when I was reminded that I PRAYED to be relieved of this person. Now, I know that might sound harsh, praying to be relieved of someone, but this person was physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually draining. Every time Id leave this persons presence Id be tired from dealing with their issues. I didnt know how to tell this person no because I was afraid to hurt their feelings. This was my God complex at work. In this season, God is showing me that I am not in control and I must be a good steward of the resources (physical/emotional/financial/spiritual). I must be obedient to Gods calling not the calling of my ego. *OUCH!* Ive been called to evaluate each of my relationships and determine if they are a good utilization of my resources and if not, Im to deal with them. This is not an easy place to be when you are a people pleaser. Praying for all who share in this same disorder. :) Hardest pill to swallow; They will be ALRIGHT without Danita Waller-Paige in their lives. This is when I reach back for a very familiar prayer, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference. AMEN!
