Life is crazy.
Right at the moment I have about 4 different to-do lists and nothing seems to be getting crossed off on any of those lists.
My goal was to have revamped my entire business (not too lofty of a goal...haha) by the second week of August.
Also, I am one of the graphic designers for a church plant by the name of Aletheia... maybe you have heard of it. ;) Aletheia (greek word for truth) is a collegiate church plant, that means, the end of summer is an all-out sprint to the finish line that is typically the third week of August. So, all of the projects that need to be in our hands by the end of August have to be completely designed and at the printer by... um... right now.
And most importantly I am a wife to said church plant's pastor. With that comes lots of responsibility... mainly keeping my husband sane. :) And I am a mom. Enough said.
So, to say that life is a little busy right now would be an understatement. The blogs may trail off a bit for a few weeks while I try to conquer those to-do lists, but rest assure I am here and I am working on great new designs and products for you.

We are all busy people and our lives are filled to the brim with many activities and responsibilities. We are like a performer juggling many balls. We juggle our family, our friends, our household chores, our community and church commitments. We juggle our personal health/fitness and our hobbies & interests. Everything that we are responsible for is like a "ball" that we are trying to keep up in the air.
Some balls are rubber. Cleaning my bathroom is a rubber ball. It will "bounce back" (still be there tomorrow and the next day...) if I drop it (don't attend to it today).
Glass balls are the people in our lives. They won't usually bounce if we drop them. They are more likely to get nicked, cracked or even shattered if we don't keep them in the air. My family members are glass balls to me. I want to be available to meet their needs and even to meet their desires. I don't want this busy season of my life to be so filled with the tyranny of the urgent that I don't spend time with the ones I love most. May God give me discernment and a servant's heart so I can always keep my glass balls high in the air.

You truly are an example of someone who is able to juggle all her commitments with grace and poise. Remember, you're more than a conqueror! {Romans 8:37} Always excited to see what new things you come up with! =)
Love you.
We shall wait patiently here. :)
ReplyDeleteAletheia...I've heard some good things about it. In particular, the quality of their graphic design is off the charts!
