boundaries...
When are boundaries ok ?? Does the holidays cause me to adjust my boundaries?? How hard is it really to just say "NO"? Or do I just give in because it is so much easier to? Christmas is still a very difficult to enjoy because of these questions. I hope someday I can enjoy what God meant me to enjoy instead of worrying about pleasing everybody else. These are just a few of my thoughts today.

I used to struggle so much with pleasing others. It took me many years of relying on Yahweh and taking baby steps before I could start to set healthy boundaries.
I also had to learn what was a real boundary versus what was being selfish. It was not easy as most of the people I was pleasing thought that anything that was not about them was my being selfish. There are times when we need to put others above ourselves, but we need to do it from the right motive...because we are honoring Yeshua by doing what He is asking us to do...as opposed to being people pleasing.
The good news is that the Holy Spirit did teach me and show me. He did strengthen me and help.
Faithful
