Luke 10:42---but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Some
people would feel they are living a diminished life if they did not live an
over-committed life. Constantly living like you are putting out "brush
fires" is a lifestyle hurtful to you in a significant way. This lifestyle
becomes a dependent/co-dependent lifestyle when over-committing from a sense of
weakness or powerlessness. Even when weakness and powerlessness are not issues,
some people lead a "too busy" life. Piling up commitments in our life
to the point where we run ourselves ragged is not helpful to us, others and is
not a blessing to God. To healthfully maintain our soul, we are to live in
peace and harmony with God. Over-committing is not a way to live in peace and
harmony with God. We have more things on our agenda than we can also take away
from our efficiency because we can easily miss doing what is essential.
