My sweet friend and mentor, Teri Lynne, calls it lopsided living. I love that term.
It really isn’t about balance. It’s about determining what is important in the here and now and doing that well.
You don’t HAVE to live a balanced life, friend. If you ask me, the thing people call a “balanced” life is more of a juggling act. The juggling act can look flashy and fun and exciting, but most often, it is stressful and the juggler is worrying about what will drop first. If you are juggling things you don’t HAVE to do along with the essentials of your life, who knows what will fall.
Hold on tightly and fight hard for the things that matter right now. Let the other things fall away.
Learn from someone wise like I did and do a little lopsided living.

Amen to that. The work/life balance is an idol if ever there was one. The work God has for us isn’t going to stop when our kids grow up or we reach retirement age. We keep growing in holiness and sharing our hope with the lost until our last breath. We’ll be working till the end of this life – and thanks be to God for that.

I agree! Balance is such a sticky thing anyway. Everything that is a priority gets done or happens daily. And that is good enough for me.
You sweet girl! I am thankful to call you friend. And I love seeing how all you are learning is giving you a bigger, more beautiful life. Erin, Jesus shines all over you and we are all blessed by the light you are for Him!!
