"We forfeit our souls every single time we choose to drain ourselves and not replenish ourselves; 

run on empty rather than stopping and intentionally doing the things that will bring us life; 

burnout rather than live meaningful, significant, and impactful lives that are enjoyable and life-giving to others. 

We forfeit the life God intended for us when we lower our souls to functioning as machines 

rather than living as soulish marvels who require more than a quart of oil or a recharging of our batteries."

~ Stephen W. Smith in Soul Custody (due out Aug 1), 29

 In what ways are you gaining the whole world, yet forfeiting your soul?

Is your life more on autopilot or are you seeking to intentionally cooperate with your Creator in living and enjoying the life He's given?

"How we spend our days, 

is of course how we spend our lives."

~Annie Dillard

Indeed, how might reordering your days reorder your life? Reflect on the questions below:

• What adjectives would you use to describe your day today? Do words like "fun," "restful," "inspiring" rise to the top? Or was it "busy" "overwhelming" and chaotic?
• What three adjectives would you like to have describe your life? (Try doing this as a family too - what adjectives do you want to have describe your family's life together?)
• Pick a day this week where you plan activities that will cultivate the adjectives you want to describe your life. 

Let me know how it goes - what adjectives do you want to have describe you and your family's lives?

 “The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.”
- Tony Blair

Do you have a sense of doing too much?
Are you resentful because you don't have enough time for God, self, significant others?
Sit quietly for 5 minutes, and ask the Lord, "What do I need to say no to so that I can say yes to you?"
