Overview
As Christian women, most of us want to please those around us. After all, doesn't being a servant of Christ mean that we should say yes as often as possible to those who beg our favor?
Ramona Cramer Tucker says in her article "Just Say 'No'!": "The reality is, we're afraid of letting people down even if we're driving ourselves crazy with activities. It's no surprise that 'no' seems like a four-letter word we must avoid at all costs. But 'no' isn't a dirty word–in fact, sometimes it's one of the healthiest things we can say."
