Week 1: Emotional boundaries Week 2: Financial boundaries Week 3: Physical boundaries Week 4: Time boundaries

Carry each other’s burdens. Each one should carry their own load.

35 Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. 36 Later Simon and the others went out to find him. 37 When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 But Jesus replied, “We must go on to other towns as well, and I will preach to them, too. That is why I came.” 39 So he traveled throughout the region of Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons. Why do you think Jesus said no to his disciples?

The needs of others? The expectations of others? God’s direction. If we try to meet every need, we will be overwhelmed. If our goal is to meet others’ expectations, we will fail.

If I want to be here for you tomorrow, I have be able to say no today.

6 Stategies

Focus on what is most important, and do it well. “(More is better” is a lie.)

If I’m wearing too many hats, I need to… Take some hats off. When thinking about putting on another hat, decide which hat to take off to make room for the new on.

Schedule time for God. Schedule time for your family. Schedule time for your church family. Schedule time for the ministries to which God has called you. Honor and protect those commitments just as you would honor a job commitment or a doctor appointment.

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’ Luke 14:28-30 NIV Underpromise & overdeliver.

Resign from being a superhero (savior). If you get your sense of worth from rescuing other people, you are harming them and yourself. Where are we to get our sense of worth? Are you willing to let others go over the edge of the cliff at times? To experience the painful consequences of bad choices? (When we don’t, we interfere with what God is trying to teach them.)

My best gift to others in crisis is calm, faithful presence. If I get caught up in the drama, I become part of the problem.

Carry each other’s burdens. Each one should carry their own load.
