Pleasing...
Can someone please tell me if I am the only woman in the world who struggles with pleasing people? I remember a good friend of mine giving me a book called "When People are Big and God is Small", I am determined to go find it on my book shelf and read it once again. Why is that I would rather please God's creation (man) than God Himself? I so easily forget the order that my life should be in. Does anyone else out there feel this way, or is it just me? I will let you know how the book goes.

Oh girl, stand in line on trying to please people. I've completely done things I hate just so other people will be happy! And people figure this part of me out fast because I can't even say no once. I have all these people who ask me stuff 3-5 times, and I have to practice saying no to the same thing over and over. Then I stress over how they'll react because I've said no. It's a terrible way to live! That book sounds great. I've often wondered what my life would look like if I was consumed by thoughts of God like I'm consumed by thoughts of people. You are not alone!
I have NO idea what you're referring to ..... from the President of People Pleasers Anonymous.
