Balance

Balance...
I need to make sure I have it.

The short version:

'Cause there are so many things that I do that are important for me to be doing...
....So many IMPORTANT things that I need to be doing...
....and I just started a new job....which is important.

The long version:

I've been writing more. And publishing. And getting paid to write. All good things.
But not quite my "Bread and Butter".....maybe just the "butter." But if I want it to be more...I have to keep working at this.

I WON a scholarship for a writing class that is all about developing your specialty and launching a platform. This. Is. Good. Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention has been the topic that has chosen me.....I just haven't had a clear idea on how to express this. I think this class will help.

And on that very topic of DV.....there are definite ministry opportunities in the works.....
....or more acurately, in the works of being in the works. (did i say that right?) This is important. I'm not doing enough here. I want to do more.

I started a new job today.....at Hill of Beans. It is local. This will take up about 4 to 5 hours a day....but today it happened to take up about 6. The job is important. I need the job. I need to be around people. I just have to make sure it does not wear me too thin....

And then there are the basics....which, in my opinion, are the most important.
It's called loving God and loving those he has given to me.
Sometimes the "basics" get saved for last. I gotta make sure that this ALWAYS stays first.

  1. Good points, Robin! That's something I need to think about also. Good luck with the new job, the balance, and congrats again on the scholarship! You totally deserve it! I see the Lord at work here. He will lead you where you need to go.
