Responsibility

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️ Here’s my pondering this morning.

Responsibility: the state of being answerable or accountable for something within one’s power, control or management. Burden or obligation.

What am I ACTUALLY responsible for and what have I taken on that I now “feel” responsible for, but I’m actually not!?

This feels like a good list to make for many of us as we round out the year.

I’d be willing to bet that there are things/people/situations for which we have taken on UNDUE responsibility. Somehow, we think it’s ours to manage or control, when, in fact, it’s not.

I’d be willing to bet, that if we’d take time to get super honest about this…our plates would be less full and our lists would be shorter.

Our shoulders were not fashioned to carry the weight of responsibility many are trying to carry.

Let. Some. It. It. Go.

Amen Sister! I've been learning this lately! So freeing to just surrender other people and things. God has them and the situations.
