Saying no can be a really tough one, especially if you come from a place of not really having to say no...but all to quickly you can get bogged under. For me, recently I have been having to say no to paid web-design jobs, which on the surface seems insane because i'm trying to go freelance full time...but God has got me doing other projects at the moment meaning that they take priority, as well as my lovely family!

I like your criteria a ton. It's pretty much identical to the one that I use, except I call "Self Care" "Rest" - as in, "does it bring me to a place of rest and/or is my decision to be involved in said activity based in rest?" If so, then I say "yes". But you're right on, especially with the family aspect. Way too many families are sacrificed at the altar of ministry. Not interested. Rhett
