Trying to Find the Balance
Me & The Kids. Me & God. House work & Fun. Exercise & Relax. Eat & Weight. Saving money & Spending money.

You'd think by now I'd have this stuff figured out. Whenever I think I've found that point of equilibrium*plink* a straw gets added to one side and things shift. I don't expect everything to be smooth and hunky dory all the time, but It seems to take more effort to adjust and find that point of balance. I'm assuming age has something to do with it.

Lately my biggest struggle has been with living my life how I want versus how I think god wants me to live. The last few days I've begun realizing that it's not god putting this expectation on me, it's me. I often feel like I should be more involved with the church and helping those that are struggling to make it through each day. I try to get involved with a variety of fund raising but I feel I should be more hands on. Whenever an opportunity comes up, I always find an excuse (work, other commitments). So I've set a goal to be a part of some charity event by the end of the year. I'll keep you posted on my progress....
