Saying No

We have a hard time saying "no" in our house. It can be family, it can be friends, it even can be work. Sometimes we let the guilt override the true feelings, and so we tend to do more than we would like to. While it may seem like not a huge problem, it really is a character flaw that needs to be worked through. Otherwise, we'll end doing what others want to do all the time and not have the quiet time at home that we should be having.

"Husbands and wives should constantly guard against overcommitment. Even worthwhile and enjoyable activities become damaging when they consume the last ounce of energy or the remaining free moments in the day."
Dr. James Dobson

"In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength."
Isaiah 30:15
