Take Better Care Of Jim!
Multitasking, is a new catch word of late. It basically means doing more than one thing at a time. I personally find it hard to walk and chew gum at the same time. The demands of the ministry often put us in situations where we are trying to do several things at once. This causes stress. Stress in return causes many types of physical illness including Cancer, Heart Diseases, Thyroid problems and many more. Somehow the ministry has got to begin taking better care of themselves. We do so much to care for others, but all too often fail to take time for ourselves.
Recently a Prophet of the Lord spoke to me and said, “I see you ministering through your pain“. When he said that, I thought, “Well sure I minister in spite of or through my personal pain. Don’t many ministers do the same?” However, as soon as I thought that, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said “They do, but they’re not supposed to and just because so many do, that does not permit you to.” I have to be honest. These last couple of years have been the hardest on my health, family and personal spiritual welfare. I believe the Lord was telling me to change that. You and I are really the only ones who can take better care of ourselves.
Whether it means spending more time with my Lord for my own sake, taking time out to get myself more organized, taking time to see the Doctor for my personal good health, or just Natalie and I taking more evenings to ourselves for dinner and time together. I plan on taking better care of Jim and I encourage you to do the same for yourself. I pray that today’s newsletter is a blessing to your ministry.
