Balance

“The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.” Psalm 116:6

The following is a blog a read by Gwen Smith that really spoke to my soul this morning. She said,"I wish it weren’t the case, but it is. I get easily distracted and frazzled. I never seem to satisfy my to-do list and I struggle with time management. It surprises me continually that God would choose to use a cluttered woman such as me. But His grace abounds. It reaches my most unfocused, unproductive heart places. Grace covers my mess and uncovers His faithfulness.

God’s loving goodness constantly draws me back to His peace.

Oh, how I want to live life in simple grace. To listen intently to the heartbeat of God and respond with love and a twinkling nod. I want my love for Him to always be uncluttered."

What a beautiful truth, and she spoke it just as I feel it. I need balance. I once was so organized and structured, but disregarded those around me and placed emphasis on things that are not as important in life. Now I am all over the place, care about people enough to do something about it, and take time to do things that I would not have done before. If I was just a little more organized and motivated with school I could get so much more accomplished.

This is my prayer as the semester comes to a close...
