“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

what is burnout?

BURNOUT-physical, emotional and even cultural fatigue. Burnout starts when responsibility outweighs the resources at hand. It is constant activity with no time for reflection or processing things. (We have not had (or taken) much of this time so far) We were reminded to be sure to pay attention to the “little hassles”, as they are more likely to kill you than the big ones.

HOW TO COMBAT BURNOUT? Get someone “neutral” with whom to talk, someone who can keep a confidence. Journal (or in our case, blog) to express inner feelings. Know yourself and your own limitations. Nurture yourself (and your family).

“Sincere plodders often achieve more in a lifetime than fiery men and women who burn out prematurely.” Donald E. Demaray
