Is there truly "balance" in life?

NO! I hate to burst your bubble but I think we all are striving for this perfect balance and harmony in our lives that truly doesn't exist! Disclaimer: These are just my opinions and what I've learned in my 36 years of existence. ;-) Take them as you will. :) I know for me I will grab the next best book promising a perfect balance in a crazy life! I've read several of these books and they all seem to come to the same conclusion....THERE'S NO SUCH THING! When life is out of balance and busy guess what?? That's called LIVING! This is not to say that we don't need to have our priorities in line....for me it is God, my husband, children, my home, and my business/blogging/writing. Am I saying that everyday my choices reflect those priorities? Absolutely not! I'm a sinner saved by grace who is striving daily to make the right choices to honor my living Savior. But I'm not perfect. Trust me, I've tried to strive for perfection and all that gets you is a nervous breakdown and disappointments. And crabby kids and an annoyed husband! I would like to start offering a small piece of advice with each blog post....take it as you will: Don't strive for balance or perfection! Establish YOUR priorities for your family and make decisions daily to reflect those as best you can! Be flexible. I stink at being flexible...hence the earlier comment about trying to be perfect and the nervous breakdown! Start small! Do ONE thing today that reflects your priorities for your family. Just ONE! I would love to hear how it goes for a week of doing this! I will be praying for all of you as you establish your priorities and work on implementing one thing! God Bless! -D
