Good things
I was asked to help at church, leading the kid's activities at SCOOP, (Something Connecting Ourselves with Other People) on Wed. evenings. It is for a half hour with the kids, but I am just not sure. I already am gone from my family every Monday night working, and every other Tuesday night with Bible Study, how much do I leave them? What kind of message would I be sending them. They would be involved in the activities but I would not be there just for them. What is the balance of doing good things and doing good things that put your family second. Where do you draw the line? I don't want to say no to God. But I don't want to do things just to do things. I guess that is the million dollar question today. I declined the position but now have guilt - from the devil - maybe.

Oh, Steph,
I think you are right, this "guilt" you feel IS what you say...It is hard to balance the "good" for God versus your family...and I do believe that one of Satan's tools in Christian's lives is overcommittment (sp?) to good things that take us away from our PRIMARY purpose as women. Be encouraged, I've said no to things, too, and though the guilt was there for a while, the confirmation came too.
