This past fall and early winter was a terrible burnout season for me in my job at church. I all but begged God to move me, take me, let me go. It was so painful, hard, hurtful, paralyzing. Just like that dang sunburn. I couldn't sleep at night. I was all wrapped up in this burnout that was happening in my life. And, it would not go away. Honestly...can I just say it....it sucked." has so been me at times and God set me in the shade too! I love how he does that! He has us where we are for a reason, we just need to keep being obedient, and I know some day the call will be lifted! but in the meantime, He keeps me covered!A Stone Gathererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763530057889661436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920463547101602211.post-42571900612698736592009-04-28T22:04:00.000-05:002009-04-28T22:04:00.000-05:00Oh, sister.

I am praying so hard that the Lord would be my strength, because I don't want to be a statistic. HE is greater than our burn out.<br /><br />Praising HIM for your restoration!
