Out of balance!

I know I have been absent for awhile.  This has actually been purposeful.  I just love to write and have enjoyed trying to awaken some creative fibers within these old dry bones…but as I have alluded to previously…I am an all or nothing kind of person.  How ironic that the blog titled to be about finding balance was actually throwing me out of whack. 

I was using writing, blogging and internet surfing as an excuse to fall behind on household duties…and that just isn’t acceptable.

So I purposely stayed away (not from the internet all together) to help re-balance the time I spend here.

I will still have occasional posts…as I don’t want to be an “all or nothing”.  Believe me, I thought about quitting all together…but that sort of defeats the purpose of finding balance.

So now I am being more faithful in being a steward of my home and family.  Things are getting done and I am thankful for every task that I have (well…cleaning the bunny cage is hard to be thankful for…)

A verse I came across this morning in my reading was one I had read before, but as God’s perfect timing would have it, it struck a cord in me this morning.  It is Colossians 3:23-24.  “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

Boy did I need that one.  My other favorite scripture is found in Proverbs 6:10 and says “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to res, and poverty will come upon you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.”

So I will still be here… I do have some topics that I really want to write about….but it will be a little less frequently.  I will still stay updated with friends on Facebook as that takes such a small amount of time and I love to hear what everyone is doing each day.  So ironically…this blog about balance will be less verbose and less frequently updated to teach me the very thing I was hoping to write about.  I do hope to pop in here and write once a week or so…

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

Have a balanced, focused and stewardly day!
