Not as well as you have written, though.
This is such a needed lesson. I feel in America or probably any Western nation, the Christian lesson of enough is very hard to live. I simplified my life, but still, I find I want more. I want success in writing. I want to leave nursing or at least work much less at it. I have struggled with this for the last few years intensely. I feel this spring, I am coming to peace with where I am and what I am doing. I'm allowing the yoke of Jesus on my shoulders, I'm taking his burden, for it is light and easy. In the midst of this, I hardly recognized I was trying to run my own game and very anxious the whole time. Today, what I have is enough. Great post.

Thanks so much for the peek into Heidi Baker's book and for your gift of writing.
