45. Boundaries: Blessing Over Burnout

I (Stacey) need to come a little clean here... I always thought boundaries were my thing. But have you ever heard the saying, "Fences make good neighbors"? Well, my fences were getting a little banged up and whacked down, so when Tabatha suggested we talk about boundaries on the podcast this week, I kind of freaked out a little (lot), went to a couple of therapists, wrecked my car in a parking lot, and took a day off work to ponder what my boundary-less, aimless life had become. Aaand, this was pretty much all because I needed to set a time limit on something pertaining to Flaws.  Look, you can't say we're not invested here.  This week we take a look at what boundaries mean in close relationships, why and how to have them, and what God says about them. Hint: He sets boundary lines because He protects what He loves, and they fall in very pleasant places for us, friends!  If you're experiencing any sort of burnout, it might just be because your fences are getting a little beat down, but this week we're going to repair and stand them up again so that blessing, not burnout, becomes the healthy marker of a life marked by God's overflowing protection over you and your friendships.  Flaw: Burnout Law: Blessing
