Remember my last confession where I talked about finding balance? Yeah, neither do I. Turns out this is a daily battle I will fight for the better part of, well, forever. Or, more like that kid in the Sandlot... Forrrrrrrrr. Evvvvvvvvvv. Errrrrrrrrr. Seriously.
Balance is a tricky thing. Just ask Nik Wallenda...
No, I did not watch his walk because it would have given me a heart attack.
I am super impressed with his ability to hop on a two-inch wire and trust in God and in his God-given talents to get him across a 1,400 foot canyon. SERIOUSLY. That is over 4 football fields. On. A. Wire.
"It took every bit of me to stay focused that entire time..." Wallenda said.
What a reminder to all of us who are walking a "wire" of our own. No wonder I am falling off, I am not using every bit of me to stay focused. I allow myself to get distracted, or worse yet, to convince myself that I can't ever stay on in the first place. Walking through life takes focus, and being a working momma requires a lot of it. At the end of the day however, it's really not about working, it's not about laundry, it's not about grocery shopping {and being the perfect couponer}, and it's not about having a good baby. At the end of the day, it's about staying focused on the One who made me and bringing glory to HIS name alone. Whew, that is freeing to say. It's not about ME. It will be a lot easier to walk my wire knowing I have a huge safety net of grace around me. I am going to make mistakes, my balance is going to be off some days, but if I receive God's grace I will get right back up on that wire and continue moving forward towards the finish line. In the end of it all...at the end of my wire here on Earth...I just want to know that I did everything I could to do everything I do for His glory.
On that note, it's time to go flip some laundry; this working momma has a few loads to catch up on.
Make it a great day, friends!!
