Yes (wo)Man

Last year one of my unconscious goals was to become more generous. With time, money, myself; whatever in my power to give. This summer, I just started voicing this goal in prayer and began to extend myself a bit more and a bit more and now apparently I am bat@#$% crazy. I'm sort of not understanding who this new me is, but I'm planning to roll with it. I am, in point of fact, saying yes to everything asked of me these days. Need a volunteer? Sure! Need me to bring over dinner? Why, of course! Need a gift for a teen mom? (I've seen Teen Mom and it without fail causes me heart palpitations...) So YES, yes, and yes.
In no way am I a crabby hermit, but I have in the past been a fierce defender of my alone time, the over-extended, and against schedule-induced insanity. One of the greatest lessons I learned from my mom is that you can make your own schedule and limit was causes you stress. She doesn't wear a watch. Etcetera.
However, I realized this past year that this philosophy which is for the most part a positive thing was limiting my generosity. Not really Christ-like and while there is a season for everything; finding the balance between self-preservation and good works is a constant.
So that said, need something?
It's the perfect time to call...
