Exodus 30
I told Jerod the other day that I am stressed and anxious from being overcommitted, and he asked me about my motivation for saying "yes" to everything.
I think part of it is that I want people to like me.
I thought part of it was that I was fearful to lose my job. But Jerod pointed out that I could probably get another job and still be able to provide for my family.
So, my temporary conclusion is that I am fearful of not getting tenure because I don't want people to think that I am a failure.
Heavenly Father, please help me understand why I compulsively overcommit. Please purify my motivation for work. I want to walk in the Spirit. I love you, and I ask in the name of Jesus.
