To say no at work could be considered your job so maybe that's why you don't have trouble there. Anymore, I pretty much say no to everything.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Evie, thanks for the link. That was a great article. I'm trying to rid myself of the imposter. Here's something I pray daily so I can be certain I'm heading in the right direction spiritually: More you, less me. Lately, to make it more concrete, I've been praying: More Jesus, less Dotsie. I find He is chipping away at my old self. Always something to work on.

Julie Member Registered: 03/18/03 Posts: 332 Loc: Australia	For those who asked, yes the book we are reading is Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life. The program our church is doing is called 40 days of purpose and reading the book is part of it. There are videos and other resources included. Dots, it's the end of winter there now, isn't it? Is seasonal fatigue part of your malaise?(I'm feeling tired and cranky because our our high humidity.) I'm still trying to work out what my gifts are NOW - not just fall back into the roles I have had before.

And even being sheltered in the cottage and tended to by the lady, the water (stuff) was still bursting at you. What do you do to rest and relax? Love and Light, Lynn

Evie Member Registered: 08/27/03 Posts: 791 Loc: Nipigon, Ontario Canada	"rest and relax" - what is that?? seriously, I've begun to say "no" to some things, and to try to build some down time into my week and to try and get back to prayer, because that in itself is restful and peaceful, right?

Ellie Member Registered: 11/07/02 Posts: 72 Loc: Towson	I have forced myself to attend Mass every week during lent - feeling much like you do Dotsie - what am I getting out of this??? and of course just as my mind starts to wonder the priests whole sermon is "You are not here for you!!!!" every word out of his mouth was what I was thinking - don't like the music - don't care for this priest etc......... The point was - stop being so me me me!! It really made me think - But I still think somehow we should be able to have it both ways!!! Is that selfish!! This is when I get all confused about my faith - I want to be almost brought to tears by the music or the sermon and that does not happen that often!!! I want to feel my faith when I am in Gods house!!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Ellie, I hear you. Does you church offer different types of services? Traditional, contemporary? If so, you might try a different type of service. Also, have you been to any of the non-denominational churches in town? Their sermons are very different. Their messages are delivered in a more theatrical style and have a tendency to stir my soul. Maybe you need a change of scenery? It's okay to move around and try different styles fo worship.
