but it is about the fellowship of the community

so i didn't mean for my last post to imply i don't want to spend time with you anymore (you being those in my community). in fact, i really do want to spend time with all of you who are in my community. it's important that i do, because i cannot do life alone.

i too easily allow myself to become overwhelmed with the many things that i have to do. lately that has been one big thing - my thesis. it seems to overshadow everything else at times and then i can't even focus when i sit down to work. but the key is balance. a sense of anxiety does not mean to focus on that one thing and neglect everything else. it means to work hard at it that one thing, and then balance that time with other forms of refreshment. the refreshment i need (but had given up), is time with my community.

so i will do this no more. i am returning to bible study tonight and am excited to see everyone and to learn from you. please make sure i am spending time on my thesis. but don't let me give up the community for it. i can do both - but only with your help. and you can't help me if i don't spend time with you.
