SO this blog is all about me finding balance in this crazy world. We are all busy and never have time. I am striving to find time for what I know is important. We all work in some way, I happen to be a working mom who often find myself stressed out about things that really don't matter in the grand scheme of things.
As I face this giant in my life (finding the balance), I want to still be all things for all people. I never want to be the person that says no, I am too busy. So because of that I find life is spinning, some days life a ball someone else is juggling, I am continuing to always trying to go above and beyond.
Making a steps toward my goal, I found myself in a place that I often find myself. A wonderful friend who could use a meal and I want to help. Now normally I would have spent a ton of money and time on other families meals and taking my taking my family to McDs (I have spent all of my enegry trying to look good to someone else and then I put my family second). I would then be beating myself up about not having balance or bounderies.
My baby step this time around was to look at our monthly menu plan and figure out what would work to double and bring my friend excactly what we were eating. It was so simple, almost a duh moment?!, yet for me it was a huge humbling step. This wonderful friend would know that I am not super mom, I feed my family chicken strips. Hope this means I am learning to find balance and I can still be super mom...LOL!

New Normal
It is fall and for many of us it is the start of many new adventures. I work in a school and spend all summer getting ready for the first week in Sept. This last summer was a very busy summer at work and in our ministry. Now we are looking at the fall and thinking of it as a new a start.
My daughter starts a new preschool, she will one busy 4 year old with preschool and speech, that will have her out of the house for 4 full days. My job seems to be changing although I have no idea what that means yet. And our ministry well, you never now what that has in store.
Life is always interesting as you follow the voice of God. yet I am finding that I am at a cross roads waiting for His direction. It is a strange place to be, I have been here before but it never really looks the same. I wait to see if God where wants me, both places fit but I do not want to be somewhere out of His plan. So I ask myself, "how do I decide?". The answer once again is wait.
***It has been several weeks since I started this post and I stopped hoping I would have something creative to say. Weeks later more confused than before but still sure that God is in control.
Seasons come and go yet God stays the same. I am sure that is in the Bible somewhere :)
My life may not have slowed down or I may have not found my rhythm in this new normal, but I can say I am going to enjoy this new life while I have it because life can change in an instant.
