Balance

Its so easy for me to throw myself into something. (And based on things I've seen on blogger and facebook- its easy for others too.)

Throwing ourselves into adoption advocacy.
Throwing ourselves into parenting.
Throwing ourselves into mission work.
Throwing ourselves into healthy eating/living.
Throwing ourselves into... fill in the blank...

And I really am ALL about all of these things and more! I think Jesus is about ALL of these things things and more. But I find myself needing some balance. I want to help the cause of the orphan... but where can I go to help the cause of the widow??? I want to parent my children well, but I want to be passionately in love with my husband. I believe in mission work, but I want to minister to the mom sitting next to me at McDonalds playland. I wanna be healthy, but... I can't afford it! (lol, totally kidding!) I certainly don't want to throw myself into one area so much that I neglect another.

Anyway, I really am not preaching at anyone by ANY means, I'm really just speaking what's in my heart for MYSELF. Just sharing and hearing myself say it read it. :) Its something that's been on my heart recently.
