It amazes me that as children one of the first words we learn to say is "no",
As adults one of the hardest words to say is "no".
I'm searching for a life of peace and less commitments which sometimes is going to require me to say "no".
It's a lesson I'm in the beginning stages of learning.
My first steps on this journey were to delete my myspace and facebook.
I'm on a mission to cut out any unnecessary commitments.
Blogging is necessary.
You women encourage me beyond belief.
Your friendship inspires.
Thank you!
Blessings,
Nora

That is so true! If I can say it so easily to my kids, how come it's so hard for me to say to myself! I've gotten better saying it to others. :)
ReplyDeletewhoa. THAT is commitment! I so know what you mean, about learning to say no. I've only just learned that - and learned to not have guilt when I do say no! Good for you, Nora - learn it now and stick to it!

wow...really love this post!!
ReplyDeleteall my kid says is no...all i can't say is no but I really am learning.
i have felt convicted lately that i am not using the rare free time i have wisely. perhaps cutting the facebook lifeline is essential.
how can i pray for you?! specifically :)
So glad you didnt cut us out hehe... I need bloggin' too~
ReplyDeleteOh Nora, I am so there....so there! I was just thinking the other day I am tooo connected to my computer..I need to disconnect for a while and breath. I posted a re-post on my blog today just to remind me of some things and to take a break! Sometimes we just need some space to take in all the beauty...and to get things done! Good for you! and yes, blogging is a must!
ReplyDeleteJust saw your comment on Humble Pie, Please know I'm thinking of you, praying for a little peace for you. I'm here if you need to talk. We are going to make it :)
ReplyDeleteI think this post is so simple and boldly speaks to my heart. Needed this so thank you!
