I needed something extra to put on my work review to be honest. Oh, it was so not worth it. I am sorry you struggle with this, but sometimes it is a comfort to know others have the same struggle!

I don't want to do this! Why did I say yes?!" I ended up resenting my own inability to be myself and just wanting to please others, resenting the people that asked me to do it, feeling like I was a rotten Christian, and I think the end product was not as good as it could have been. The worst was-every time I saw it-I was reminded of my horrid attitude, and of course, that led to more condemnation. Since then I decided to say no to things I may have been qualified to do-but knew ahead of time that my attitude would not be right. <br />It's a thing I need some work on-I guess you can tell that!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982370018359352543noreply@blogger.com
