You are more than your career

Do you value your work more than God?

I thought it was a scratch, at first. It was like a blistery rash, all wrapped around my lower back and waist. And it hurt. A lot.

It hurt to move and even breathe. Anything more than just sitting still was agony. If you’ve ever had shingles, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Except that while most people experience shingles when they’re older, I had mine when I was barely 30. My doctor suspected it was stress-related. After all, I was working 60 hours a week, never taking lunches, and not sleeping well.

That was the moment I realized my job was killing me. Something had to give.
