Just had to share...women in our church had asked me to lead the ministry of events..2 year commitment. Yikes? Was struggling with my favorite thing to do and what I can and can't now do. So I finally took the step and said I just can't because I never know from day to day what kind of energy I will have. God closes a door and opens a window!! I found a wonderful website Girlfriends in God that can provide daily devotions and bible study. Between this website and that I feel as if life may not be so isolating after all!!! Yeah!!!
Blessings to you all!!
Blessings to you all!!
I am glad you found the strength to tell them no, though it flattering they thought of you for that position. I joined the church choir earlier this year and even help on the hospitality team, but I had to say no when they asked if I would be willing to teach Sunday school. I told them that, unfortunately, I have FM and do not feel that I could dedicate the amount of time necessary to do the job well. Also, I want the kids to be excited about building a strong relationship with God, and I really don't think I could show excitement and high energy when I am worn down. I still feel bad about it, but I think it is imperative that we learn and adapt to our own limitations.
Take care and God bless!

Glad you're feeling less isolated.
Thanks for mentioning that website. My DIL has shared with me some devotions from there, so I know it's very good.
Hugs,
