Dear Friends, Sometimes when I'm online ,I get swamped with pm's and so forth. I feel guilty because I feel I do not give quality time to those that need it. Forgive me for me being slow on responding and I am not neglecting any.
Be patient with me as i try to add speed to my typing and responses. I care about all of you and want to help if I a can. Thanks for your understanding and patience. Remember this, I care and I luv each of you and want the peace of God to Rule your lives daily. But you have to choose to do your part. In Christ Love, Real.

Thanks Real for everything you do here to help us all. I thought I'd address your post objectively for everyone who struggles with that same distressing situation of feeling unable to be in a hundred different places at once.

Those of us who are moms (or Mr. Moms) may have achieved some higher degree of proficiency for multi-tasking out of sheer need for survival. Having to cook supper and direct the kids' homework while keeping the laundry going and talking on the phone with husband about the bills and feeding the dog at the same time are just everyday life.

In our daily lives everything else becomes a lower priority when a more urgent need comes along; a friend who's in tears and needs someone to talk to or a brother who's lost his job or a teen who's come home with the difficult news of a pregnancy. Amazingly though, in online ministry, those situations come at an alarming rate, sometimes a dozen desperate people in just one hour. It's amplified NEED to an unnatural degree and those who are tenderhearted can easilyl crumble under the weight if they underestimate the one to whom they're yoked.

So how can we know who to talk to and who to let wait? By remembering that we're only servants for God and that He's directing us, as well as those who come to us.

Prov 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Mark 13:11 "When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

Matt 11:28"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

So know that God is in control, and He is more than able to send someone else to help if that's His plan... and that sometimes He is wanting his child to just be alone with Him instead of seeking out other people.
