Slipping Away

One of the most difficult things of being in ministry is dividing the personal relationships with the church/ministry relationships. With a new marriage (4 months) my relationship is tender. I have not yet learned how to disconnect my drive to be a people pleaser. I know that I can’t serve too many masters, but I have been trying to doing it. I don’t know how much longer I can keep all the balls I am juggling up in the air. I remember sitting in my classes in college where they warned us of trying to keep all people happy is a nail in the coffin of a successful youth ministry. I said that would never happen to me, but I have let it creep into my life and “stuff” is slipping away from me and I’m not sure how to get it back.
