Balance

Balance. What does that mean??? And how exactly does one find "balance" in life? When I started this blog and called it "Balancingn Bethel and Believing in the Best" I knew that I was going to need to learn balance, but I didn't really know the magnitude of such a learning experience. And its not something that I have learned yet. I'm still trying to figure it out. How do you find equality in all areas of your life and yet be fulfilled and not just giving of yourself?

My first quarter of seminary lacked balance to the EXTREME! Taking 4 classes and working 30 hours a week was NOT a wise choice. Not sure why I thought that would work. By the grace of God I made it through and didn't even flunk out! ha ha Winter quarter I decided to take a few less classes. VERY wise. It was a much better quarter. Actually just finished up and I'm now on Spring Break and will be starting Spring quarter (the last quarter besides my week of summer school) in a week. Although life has been better taking fewer classes, I still don't have this balance thing figured out. Mainly, how does one balance work, school, and friends? Especially when friends aren't the focus of your life like they were in college....

I definitely feel like this tipsy stack of rocks....Balancing.... but maybe this stack is more of my goal. i think MY stack has more of a lean currently....
