the balancing act

sorry that we haven't posted anything in a while. 

hopefully this blogging thing is easy enough to for me to figure out.

since october life has been interesting. i've been trying to find the balance of resting and working. and when i say resting i don't mean taking a nap. i mean sensing Gods peace and the rest He gives even in the middle of circumstance. 

its been tough. i was doing well until about 2 weeks ago. i began to feel the effects of being pulled back and forth between home and traveling. i could come up with many excuses but i believe so where within the last couple weeks i began to turn to entertainment instead of God for rest. i just wanted to lay around and watch movies and not have to think. luckily i've been able to get back on track and put my idol down.

although i was struggling with resting in God on my time off He was blessing me when i was in the mix working at camp. 

the struggle came with pacing myself for the race. making sure i have just as much if not more to give to my family when i get home.

the balance of :

God, family, friends, authenticity, & pursuing my dreams and ambitions. has been tough, but i know God has called me to it & i do love it, i love the challenge, i love the journey, but most of all the adventure.

i'm now home and enjoying my time. trying to catch up before the baby comes. (good luck) pray for me. 

the baby's room looks awesome! we are super excited about it. God has definitely blessed us with a place of refuge.  thanks to dave and jacci turner.
