This morning, the following was read aloud to me: "God does not want you to destroy yourself. Exhaustion, burn-out and depression are not signs that you are doing God's will." (Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love.)
It's good to be reminded of this...

About Me
- Wistful one
- EDITED: Well into my 31st year of life and my 3rd year of marriage. No more cat. All else remains the same... *** Just turned 30, still waiting to grow up. Married 2+ years to wonderful Lucky (as his friends call him), and we live in Charm City with a very fat tabby cat. I work in the field of international relief and development mixed with church mission, a fascinating collision of two universes.

Great quote. I just read a Henri Nouwen essay on solitude, community and ministry that was wonderful.
it's probably also wise to keep in mind that if you want to destroy yourself, something might possibly be wrong in your thinking. I seem to run into that one a lot.
