Lately this hasn’t been a problem for me, but at times in my life I have struggled with it.

Even God needed to rest…so how much more so do WE need rest? Sometimes taking a break and reading some novels is exactly what we need in order to rest, in order to move forward.

Don’t be too hard on yourself

This week, the woman I work for said to me, "Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed by everything that I have to do that I just shut down."

Those words - and yours - echo how I've been feeling the last few weeks. I feel like I'm drowning in writing assignments and school projects and church obligations. Sometimes I just want to run away, literally or figuratively.

But maybe the truth is in what you said - that I'm trying to do everything in my own strength. And I just need to remember that in MY weakness HIS strength is made perfect.

We will never have the strength in and of ourselves to do what He calls us to do, Tanya. We weren't created to be independent, but dependent on God. Apart from Him, we can do nothing.

In general, if I feel like I'm procrastinating, I take that as a sign that I am. However, I definitely agree with Cami. Sometimes you just need to take some time.

As an editor, a lot of what I do is research based. That means I just read stuff. It's fun, but there's a definite purpose. And I take good notes in the margins.

“There’s a season for everything.” Maybe it’s simply reading season in your life? : )
