Nancy Manos Posted on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 11:04PM Earlier this week, a friend shared with me how she was feeling overwhelmed by everything she is responsible for right now. She asked me if I had any advice or encouragement because she knows I have found myself in a similar state over the years.
joy, overwhelmed, peace | in Joyful Living Nancy Manos Posted on Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 03:10PM I have always been the kind of person who loves to serve, do, bless, and enrich the lives of others. I adore making things beautiful and organized and enjoyable for others. Throughout my life, I have loathed asking for things from others because I don't want to be an imposition or create work for someone else. While my desire to help, serve, and bless has not diminished in any way, I'm learning, growing, and seeing God move in my life in remarkable ways in the area of being willing to ask.

It reminded me of the book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” by Laura Numeroff.
joy, rabbit trails | in Joyful Living Nancy Manos Posted on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 03:05AM I don't remember a time in the past dozen years or so when I wasn't busy ... often extremely, excessively, inordinantly busy for extended periods of time. Thankfully, I have a pretty high capacity for activity and I get to do volunteer work that I truly enjoy and thrive upon. The past year has been particularly full-to-overflowing and there have been many days when there is more on the list of things that must be done than there are hours in the day. But it's been a very rich and rewarding season filled with amazing opportunities to serve, so it hasn't been particularly stressful or overwhelming ... most of the time.
