The Importance of Self-Care (and why it's Biblical)

As Christian women, we’re often well acquainted with the idea of self-sacrifice.  Our calling is to be like Jesus.  He literally laid his life down for his friends.  We want to serve God by serving others.  This is good- and it’s as it should be.  Love God and love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:30-31)
