This Sunday our focus is: Developing Good Boundaries

If our boundaries are not good, then our identity is vulnerable to vultures. People will tend to define who we are; instead of us defining who we are. When others define us and we abide by their definition; then the problem may arise that we will be over extended. When we are over extended it leads to too many irons in the fire which can lead to burnout.

Burnout sometimes is the result of our own choices. Choices that are the result of being defined by others and not our self. When burnout hits, we are no use to ourselves and others. With the continuation of burnout we may feel like a corpse, dead to the world. When this happens, the vultures come.

SCRIPTURE TO PONDER

They wander about for food like vultures.

Job 15:23

THOUGHT TO PONDER

You know you are having a bad day, when the bird singing outside your window is a vulture.
