Your Question:
Why do I have to deal with this on top of everything else?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling overwhelmed with multiple responsibilities. As a pastor, I have to deal with the emotional and spiritual needs of my congregation, which can be draining at times. On top of that, I have to balance my family life, making sure my wife Susan and I are there for our children, Joshua and Rebecca. My son is at an age where he's developing his own interests and independence, and my daughter is going through the challenges of adolescence. It's a lot to juggle, and sometimes I feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions. But I think what's really getting to me right now is the pressure to be a good role model for my kids. As a pastor, I'm expected to set a high standard of integrity and morality, and I want to make sure I'm living up to that. But with the demands of my job and family life, it's hard to find the time and energy to focus on my own spiritual growth and well-being. It's like I'm constantly being asked to give and give, without taking the time to refill my own cup. I guess what I'm saying is that I feel like I'm being stretched to my limits, and I'm not sure how much more I can take. I love my family and my congregation, but I need some help figuring out how to prioritize my time and energy. I need to find a way to balance my responsibilities and take care of myself, so I can be the best husband, father, and pastor I can be.
