"Mary Mary" star Erica Campbell knows what it is like to be busy. After all, she juggles a lot of responsibilities—from being a wife, mother, gospel singer, and reality star, not to mention being a church leader for the California Worship Center church.
According to the multi-hyphenated personality, it really helps Christians fulfill their duties and responsibilities when they understand the vision God has in their lives.
"You just take one day at a time. It is a lot, but I don't feel overwhelmed," she told The Christian Post. "I feel like I'm busy, but if God gives you the vision, He will give you the provision to handle it. So I have a great staff of people. I don't do anything in my own strength or by myself."
Campbell shared that it is also important for her to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life, and she prefers not to mix one with the other. "At some point you shut it all off and I'm just a mommy and Warren's wife. I make the best of it and take it one day at a time," she said. "I don't think there's a specific ABC or 1, 2, 3 for how to manage my life."
What Campbell cannot live without, she said, is peace. "You literally have to make sure that peace is always present. And peace is not the absence of trouble, it's the presence of Jesus Christ," she shared. "So I wake up in the morning and I go, 'Jesus be with me today in every phone call, in every issue, in every problem, in every triumph... be with me in every moment so I handle it right.'"
There will always be times when problems become too overwhelming to bear, but the "Help" singer said that people sometimes just need to view things differently.
"Sometimes you can be in the middle of a blessing and look at it as a problem. Sometimes when God opens a lot of doors and you have a lot going on, it's easy to go, 'This is too much,'" she explained. "My thought is, I didn't open these doors. God did. So I say, 'God, give me the ability to enjoy it and still be effective at my job.'"
