finding my footing.

I'm not sure about you but I have to plan into my weeks "space to create" or sometimes I call it "jen time". 

And in this time I can be creative, write, sing, work on a project, read, run, paint, research new adventures...etc.

Basically do things that encourage my heart, and reaffirm my footing in Christ, refresh my mind, and create space to begin again in a positive way.

A while back I learned that my love language was; acts of service. I learned real quickly that I was giving so much {to good things really like church events, family time and friends} that it was affecting my personhood. I was so exhausted all the time because I never found space to recharge and refresh. I liked to be needed and helping people was reaffirming myself at an unhealthy volume. 

Reminds me of a verse in Psalm 11:25 "and one who waters will himself be watered." 

The older I get one of the most important revelations I've had is plan "rest and time to be watered" into my everyday life....or I'll never do it and not function at a healthy capacity.
