Speaking from my heart, friends, these past couple of months have found me so exhausted from running from one thing to another trying to keep all things alive that I have *mostly* burned myself out. Working on being more diligent in my own life and taking time for the things that fill my cup so I can be the best witness of Jesus as I possibly can.

A friend shared this with me a few weeks ago as some encouragement. Hopefully this will encourage you too!

“A bee comforted me very much this morning concerning the desultoriness that troubles me in our work. There seems so infinitely much to be done, that nothing gets done thoroughly. If work were more concentrated, as it must be in educational or medical missions, there would be less of this – but we seem only to touch souls and leave them. And that was what the bee was doing, figuratively speaking. He was hovering among some blackberry sprays, just touching the flowers here and there in a very tentative way, yet all unconsciously, life-life-life was left behind at every touch, as the miracle-working pollen grains were transferred to the place where they could set the unseen spring working. We have only to see to it that we are surcharged, like the bees, with potential life. It is God and His eternity that will do the work. Yet He needs His wandering desultory bees.” From Lilias Trotter’s Diary 9 July 1907
