Sometimes I take on too much. It starts innocently enough. I pick up one item and then, in a burst of enthusiasm, I pick up ten more. And then I get overwhelmed and don't even do the one original item. And it's happened again.
At the moment, I'm supposed to be studying:
* Inspiring Women Every Day - New Christians
* Inspiring Women Every Day - Regular
* Explore
* Sanctuary
* Small Changes
* The Lord's Table
I think that's all. But it's way too much and I am, in fact, doing none of it. No quiet time, no prayer, no worship, no Bible study, nothing. And it's because I've taken on far too much and am overwhelmed. I also don't actually have time to spend on all these studies. At fifteen minutes each, that little lot is an hour and a half! And, yes, it'd be good to spend an hour and a half with God every day but I think He would rather I plan and actually do fifteen minutes rather than plan an hour and a half and do nothing. So I must rationalise.
I know that I want to do The Lord's Table as a book study and I'd like to start it as soon as possible as I'm working on my health and fitness at the moment. And for a morning Quiet Time I like Inspiring Women Every Day. I think I'll finish the New Christians book I have and then use the regular one. I'll let the other things go - for now.
