Balance

How do you find balance in your life? I am struggling with this question as I sit in bed thinking about how nervous I am about my first actual school day back at work.

First and foremost I need to find more time to be closer with God. I was originally interested in personal finance blogs so I can get advice to cut spending. Then I started exploring other people's reasons for blogging and began questioning how I was spending my time. Somehow I found the Women Living Well blog. After exploring her blog I knew it was time to refocus. With the help of her blog, more through God using her as an instrument, I discovered I was neglecting very important parts of my life- my spirituality and my marriage. It's only been a few days, but I already feel closer to God and my husband. I have much to learn, but with God's grace all things are possible.

Another part of my balance struggle is being a more attentive wife, mother, and daughter. This ties into my first need because I need God to guide me in serving others before myself.

Also, I need to work on my attitude at work. Lastly, I need to work on taking care of my body by making healthy choices.
