The worst part of overcommitting to things is that you end up letting others down. I just had to back out of some commitments today because I've overcommitted myself, which, in extension, overcommits my family. It's much easier to say "no" upfront than to have to back out later. When I am guilty of overcommitment it's usually without working it through with God and my family. So, lesson learned for me.
Posted by Tim at January 29, 2006 07:38 PMThat is truly a difficult situation for anyone. Of course, the support of your family is crucial for any commitments you undertake. God will not call you to pursue a commitment that without your family in His Kingdom.
That said, it is always important separate and prioritize Kingdom work ahead of other commitments.
Keep the Son in your eyes my friend.
