I caught myself today. While preparing my daily task list, I remembered a writing project I had reluctantly agreed to do. The person who asked me sent me a reminder about it on Monday, and I emailed back that I would have a draft by tomorrow. When I remembered my email, I started fussing out loud to myself.
"I knew I should not have said I would do this!"
"The more you do for people, the more they ask you to do!"
"I really do not have time for this!"
Then, a better thought popped in my head, "Do everything without complaining or arguing." Philippians 2:14 presents a principle I should follow. I immediately stopped fussing and took my responsibility for the situation. No one made me agree to this writing task, I could have declined.
I am now finished with the writing task and I have emailed it to the person. I feel humbled and I feel better. Lesson learned.
Take care,
Sylvia
