When to Say No

Do you find yourself saying yes to everything that comes your way and filling up your calendar with non-stop activities?

There are many reasons we women tend to do this, but I think the fear of guilt and disappointment tops the list.

We just don't want to let anyone down.

When we're asked to take part in something or fill a need, we immediately want to comply. We may feel that saying no will cause others to think we don't care.

And then the guilt sets in.

But here's a truth that maybe you haven't considered before: saying yes to one thing is always saying no to something else.

There are so many things we could be doing, much more than we can sanely fit into one day. So we have choices to make.

If saying yes to something is going to take time away from something else, then before you say yes, consider what you're saying no to.

Hold these two things up and ask yourself which one is more important.

A good habit to get into in response to a request is to say something like, "That sounds great, can I get back to you tomorrow about that?"

This will give you some time to think through the very best way you could be filling your time.

It will also help you realize that saying no doesn't mean you don't care. It's simply a wise way to protect your priorities.

    Welcome to
    ​EWD!


    ​Jesus taught us something about the great commission that is so very important.

    We are to share the gospel in order to make DISCIPLES, not simply BELIEVERS.

    In Mathew 28:19-20, Jesus tells us to "go, therefore and make disciples...teaching them to observe all that I commanded you..."

    Believing in Jesus Christ is just the beginning. He desire us to engage in learning, growing, and maturing in the faith. This happens through discipleship.

    HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DISCIPLED IN THE FAITH?

    My prayer is that every woman would be discipled "for the equipping of the saints for the works of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ" Ephesians 4:12-13


    ​I'm glad to have you on this journey with me!

    ​For His glory alone,
    ​Julie
