Earlier this year, I was obsessively zealous with working for the kingdom of God after discovering who I am in Christ. I sought out to write, intercede, teach and begin developing in the spiritual gifts God endowed me with as well as dedicating to learning how to walk in the gifting stronger than ever before. However, day-to-day issues began to arise in my life and I found that I wasn't able to dedicate as much time to ministry and study as much as I wanted too. My children needed extra attention at home as they began to embrace their teenage years and my job was in its busiest season and in a major transition. My obligations to the church as a leader required more time and accountability and although my husband was very understanding and supportive, I knew I was slacking in my household responsibilities as other issues began to take priority.

As a result of being overwhelmed and burnt out, suddenly my zeal and passion for pursuing what I believed as the mission that God had set for my life was beginning to diminish and became more of a burden than a life fulfilling journey.
