Unless you are a super-duper type A personality who thrives off of dotting all the i's, doing several things at a time is just hard. Some days, near impossible. Having kids does complicate matters, but even when I was single, I struggled. I know that part of the problem is my desire to do EVERYTHING when all I have time to do is barely half. So, instead of being reasonable, I try to do everything, only slower. So, I say all of that to say this: Sorry I have neglected this blog lately, but I've been busy unsuccessfully trying to do everything! :)
Jude is now 17 months old and running around like a rocket, with a mouth that moves almost as fast. Alas, we only understand about 5% of it! Lots of traveling this month which means leaving him for the first time (for multiple nights and with someone other than Randy). That's a little scary for me, but all in all it will be really good for all of us.
We recently started a new marriage/bible study and it began with the concept that reading the Bible and praying are both part of having a conversation with God. It's simple, but something I tend to overlook. While stomping through my day, slinging emotions and wills from one rooftop to the next, looking for what God thinks is unfortunately the last thing on my mind. It's like I expect him to be the hall monitor who lets me know when I've done something wrong, but there's no contact otherwise. So, both in my marriage and in my relationship with God I am working on better communication, especially listening and seeking their feedback. Any words of encouragement in that area would be greatly appreciated!
Balance is the name of the game around here so why don't we do a balance check?
Have you given deep abiding love while being truthful with discipline and consistency?
Are you working your hardest while putting complete faith in God and others?
Have you accomplished anything today but also danced in the rain (or with a child)?
It's really all about finding the right balance. :)
