Thank you for sharing your story. I am about to resign as a deacon of my church as I am getting tired too quickly, and I want to concentrate on what I can do best.

Praying for God’s best as you transition to new things. Even if that new things is slowing down for a season. God knows what’s around the corner, and His plan is always the best.

Wow. This provided very needed affirmation for my decision to step down from full-time chaplaincy into a more part-time role to prioritize self care and time with my kids.

Thank you so much for this.

I appreciate that. Burnout is such a big problem and we should all be on the lookout or the signs. This part-time role is for a season. God has more if we’re willing to let Him lead. Looking forward to what God is doing in you today and tomorrow.

Wisdom here! I will need to read this every week as I check off many of those boxes. Accepting limitations is huge for me right now. Thanks!
