Also, jawjaw, I had that habit of thinking I could do everything and had to save the world single-handidly(sp?).

IF no one else would do it, I'd offer. I started programs, spearheaded this and THAT!

I started learning a couple years ago to say no.

One of the beauties of saying no is that it allows someone else to get involved by their saying yes.

Get my gist?

I find this especially true at church. I am already involved, strengthening my faith, seeking God, blah, blah, blah. By saying no at church, it allows someone else to get closer to the church by saying yes, and then they are given opportunities to grow their faith too.

Get it?

Same goes for neighborhood...and things 60 MILES WEST!
