You are doing God's work. He has a plan for you, but you must take care yourself as well. Good things happen to people like you because everything you do come back 10 fold, 100 fold, etc. Keep up the good work, but work on yourself also. Good luck.....:)

Biblically speaking, God advices us to help others before helping ourselves, so in your case you are in the line of God's rigtheousness. Casually speaking a carpenter builds so many houses of other people but he cannot build his own house.
You are asking some advice on what you should do because you feel as if that you are neglecting yourself already because you love doing for others.........Well, I think you should also look for yourself, for your own good and for your future. Always remember that we should also help our own self because if we don't how can we help others if we have nothing, and if we are sickly. There is a saying that says, "We cannot give to others if we don't have something to give."
My friend you are bless, you pleases the eyes of God. I know God will guide you to the right path.

You're right, it's nice to help others, but when it means neglecting yourself, then it's not so nice.
YOU are number one... and remember it... so if a friend needs something, and you feel like saying NO or if you have something else planned, then say NO....
I have experience with this sort of thing, because i used to bend over backwards for EVERYONE.... and i found out i was the loser.... i didn't take time out for ME, because i was so busy helping everyone else... and i also found that there was NO ONE there to help ME when i was in need!
Take care of YOU.. that's your best bet.....

There have got to be priorities.
You have to look after yourself FIRST.
You can't help anyone else if you can't take care of yourself.
Depleting all your time, energy and money attempting to help some mooch is not going to do them or you any good.
SHOW them how to live properly by being the example!
