"When I became a missionary I was taught to lay my life down for others. I was meant to serve but no one told me there should be a line. I felt guilty if I put myself before someone else's needs.
"The reality is, God doesn’t want me to be miserable. Saying no isn’t selfish; it is healthy.
"If I take care of myself first, I will have so much more to give away to others. Self care is imperative. It’s important to know my limits and set them. Breaks should be mandatory."
~ Sarita Hartz, What I Wish I'd Known About Missionary Burnout
With the concept of self-care in mind, Hannah and I took a 12-day trip to Kenya's coast a couple months ago. We had an absolutely fabulous time!
