balance

i need some balance.

not only do i need balance,

i need to figure out exactly what's out of balance.

i assume it's balance that i need

because whenever something feels out of whack

physically, mentally or spiritually

something's out of balance right?

hence my conclusion.

i'm not feeling very creative

& maybe not even very motivated.

maybe it's just post summer weirdness.

sometimes i feel i'm not very intentional with how i spend my time in the summer

so maybe that's left me in a place that feels out of focus.

maybe it's the fact that i'm in the process of adjusting to our new family dynamics

after sending savannah off to college.

i vascillate daily between joy for all that's awesome in her life right now

and the fantastic orchestration of so many good & perfect details

and

honestly just how very strange it is to have a child leave the nest.

i'm ok.
really i am.

just feeling sort of in a weird place

&

figured i could come here and share that with you.

& speaking of you,

(i want to end this downer of a post on a good note)

i want to thank ya'll.

i continue to be so blessed and encouraged by those of you

who leave sweet comments or send me notes and emails

of encouragement.

YOU

are a blessing that i don't ever want to take for granted.

thank you

&

as for me,

hopefully i'll feel all straightened out soon.

i'll keep you posted!

James 1:17

 Every good and perfect gift is from above,

coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, 

who does not change like shifting shadows.
