TOO FULL!

Posted by on Aug 29, 2009 | 1 comment

Today we had a wonderful women’s breakfast at my church FUMCWP. The speakers were amazing and spoke on balance. It was so funny because this morning I woke up thinking about balance. As I laid in bed I was thinking about how we stuff our lives, kind of like how we can stuff our faces…..You know that feeling when you ate way too much and are too full? It is uncomfortable, sometimes even painful. And then we think why did we eat that much? I knew I was full. But it all looked SO GOOD! That is sometimes what our life can feel like.

TOO FULL!

We are uncomfortable and don’t have any breathing room….there is no button to undo with life, no elastic waist comfy shorts to put on….We have to just stop cramming everything in and push away from the table! It won’t all fit in. We need to prioritize and make choices on what stays and what goes. What can we do without and what can we say NO to. What is important to our heart and soul.

Balance is a tricky thing, and will always need tweaking, a little more here and little less there…But is achievable if tended to. So don’t let your life get TOO FULL that you can’t enjoy the sweet things……Not dessert!

Joy, Peace, Laughter, Love and Rest. Leave room for these!

    Dearest Merrill,
    I am checking out your blog for the first time. I had the opportunity to meet your Mom this morning, too… Wouldn’t it be great if life came with an “EASY” button… thank you for being you :)
