I think I’m finding my balance, or at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
Psalm 17:5; Copyright Heartlight Gallery
I think I’m finding my balance.
Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself as I trip over the dogs, make breakfast, struggle to put coffee in the cup as the dachshunds choose to play around and in between my legs and I just realized that the waffles are ready for the kids to eat.
I’m learning it’s okay if I can’t get to blogging as much as I use to and I am realizing…there is a plus to scrunchies to keep my hair up.
Walking with the Lord, is a balancing act and we walk a narrow path, but as we learn to lighten our loads and learn what is important and what isn’t, it doesn’t become as daunting as it use to be.
What was enjoyed is slowly reclaimed as it becomes less of an obligation and more of a blessing and a retreat.
I remembered blogging regularly and then worried that I would never get enough subscribers or readers, and as I focus on that, I found myself less focus on why I had started and where it was supposed to go and instead of a leisurely walk, it became a balancing act with no real winners, only losers.
As I really immerse myself not only in homeschooling, but with just balancing that time with our Heavenly Father and with family, maybe it’s the sign of old age, or just the beginning of wisdom, that the true blessings are in what we can never reclaim and what we can take with us versus what we can’t take with us.
There are many things that I wish would be better, but sometimes that’s part of the blessings, because our Heavenly Father does know better and we find ourselves walking closer with Him versus farther.

I know what you mean. I am trying to find that balance myself. I pray the Lord continues to lead you in this delicate balancing act called motherhood.

There never seem to be enough time in the day and I’ve really felt bad lately that I just can’t really blog as much as I use to but it also made me realize…do I sometimes try to do too much than I really need to do.
It seems like a constant balancing act and it really raises the question if we might sometimes raise too high of an expectation or want for ourselves than what is really there?

The anti-spam word was encouragement, and that’s what you are for me, Twinks! “What was enjoyed is slowly reclaimed as it becomes less of an obligation and more of a blessing and a retreat.” Beautifully written! Happy WFW!
