So i'll spend myself til I'm empty and poor all for you

I'm supposed to be listening in class.
I'm supposed to be working on a paper.
I'm supposed to be studying for boards.

and yet. I'm writing a blog post.
ever have thing swirling around in your mind and you can't move on until you get those thoughts out? Maybe that is just me. So here goes.

God has put a whole burden on my heart to help people. But this means I want to help people that sometimes I can't help, don't know how to help or really don't need to be the one helping. I don't know why this is the case but it is.


And yet there are times where I could help and it just seems to insurmountable. It comes down to is there enough time in the day. How much is too much?

At the drive last week there was a line in a song we sang "So i'll spend myself til I'm empty and poor all for you" --  It's from a song called "You Revive me" thats been done by several christian artists but it hit me. We sing this but do we believe it? do we just say it or do we actually do it. So then when it feels like too much I want to say "well I sing that i'll do this so i should" but then thoughts like "you don't want to overwhelm yourself" " 'you already have a lot on your plate" and I wonder if those are reality or things that satan is just trying to tell me to make me less effective. How do you know? Ask for wisdom. I'm doing that. I just keep praying that God would be clear in His plan and that I would be like Mary and respond with "Yes Lord I'm your servant."

alright. we gotta have pretend patients to practice our diagnostic skills so I think that will end this post.
Hope you all are well. Keep putting God first and praying for His presence. :)
