It’s OK to quit. Necessary even.
I’m talking to both of us. We’ve been told all our lives, you and I, that we can do anything. Maybe. But we can’t do everything. Certainly.
To do some things as well as they deserve? We’ll have to quit.
To give as much as they need? We’ll have to quit.
To love them like we know we should? We’ll have to quit.
To start that? We’ll have to quit.
To get healthy? We’ll have to quit.
Quitting is hard. But you and I can do anything.
What are you quitting next?
Jenni says:
I am quitting the comparison game. If I desire to use my gifts to worship God and make Him known than I have to be emptied of myself. Comparison is the opposite of that. Good reminder!
Kelli says:
If I’d read this two hours ago, I would have said I’m quitting my kids. But now they’re all blissfully asleep and I’ve decided I still like them, so that’s off the table.
This is really hard. I’ve had to quit things in the last couple of years that I really enjoyed. I didn’t want to quit them, but it was necessary if I was going to continue to move forward the way I felt like I needed to. As we prepare for baby to come in a few months, I am reminding myself that time is limited. I don’t have anything to quit right now, but I have had to say no to starting a couple of things in the last few weeks. 🙂
