Life off kilter

If you read my other blog you know about my washing machine troubles today. Now I know this may sound strange but it made me think of my life. Sometimes, recently in fact, I feel like my life is off kilter, or off balance. Definitely know it's not running quite as smoothly as it could be. As it should be. Why? I'm thinking, like the clothes in the washer, I don't have things in my life distributed right. If I am focusing too much on fun, or too much on pleasing others and not caring for my own self, or focusing on my diet and my looks, not putting time in my prayer life, not thinking of the needs of my husband enough and my children too much....well all of these things need a balance. They are all a part of my life, but need to be balanced for my life to run smooth. It's not always easy, but I've been there before and know it can be done. Just takes a concious effort and at times, like now, I need to stop and put things in order. I fixed the washer and have it running smooth and I know, with God's grace (the only tool I need) I can get my life running smooth again too!

Followup: I had this post saved as a draft for a day or two. Not sure why....but in the last 24 hours my life has taken a MAJOR jolt. I'm not good about opening up my private life but I'm guessing if your reading this your a spiritual person and I can only ask for your prayers right now. I don't think anything else can help. Thanks so much and God bless.
