The story behind the idea
We feel defeated, we feel unworthy, we focus on ourselves too much and not in a way that's optimistic or hopeful. God has not called you to that, but he's also not called you to give up on that or just do nothing, but to find and feature what you can.
What stands out
She's taking care of her body and soul and mind or three for one or something, but it doesn't flow for me. I'm over here going, How can anyone really connect to God without a pencil in their hand? She's over there going, How can anyone really connect to God with a pencil in their hand?
Why it matters
Again, and I'm caveating as often as possible, we are all worshipers. We all must faithfully assemble with God's people and bow our heads together in prayer and sing.

A faithful way forward
Be careful going, well, they need to be out here doing what I am doing. You may need to be doing a little bit more of what they are doing, but you are featuring the part of your walk on the path where it's very clear God can use you the most.
Put it into practice
Maybe number six, you're the creation lover and you see God all around us, which is exactly what we need to be doing. Or maybe the gift of the spirit within you is outreach and evangelism.
