Hope it doesn't sound self-pitying (it's not!) but I can't imagine what it's like to have even just one person 'need me' let alone be overwhelmed by a multitude!. What a blessing to have to wrestle with! :)
This was a really timely reminder. I just took on a 4th (temporary) job that I hate to pay for dental work, but it is draining me because I really don't want to do it and it is time-consuming. My quiet time keeps coming back to be still and see the salvation of the Lord, so I am prayerfully considering dropping it. I don't want to drop it just because it is hard and I don't like it because sometimes God has us do those things to grow us.
