This past year has been a busy one. At my day job we have opened a new branch. I have become more involved in our church which is going through a busy season, and my family including my girls, 15, 13, and 11 need more of me than I can provide. I have been waiting for things to settle down. They have not. I kept waiting for the tide to slow, the waves to calm, I think that is a dream right now.

So I am left with a choice. Should I keep going, hoping that "things" will settle down to give me the breathing room I need? All the while, those closest to me have to keep waiting. Or should I do something different? Pull back? Work longer, hoping the gaps will emerge?

Coupled with this are some things I need. I have become aware that as I do more, I am increasing at risk of writing checks my character cannot cash. Stated simply: If I do not invest in my relationship with my Lord and in spiritual disciplines, I may find myself in a future time "drinking the cool-aid." So caught up in myself, I am un-aware that I am my own worst enemy in a place that has little room for anyone else.

I don't know all the answers, but I do know what I am doing now is not working. I am committed (with my Lord's help) to take some time to look at others who have struggled with these same issues in hopes of investing in eternal things. I am thankful that there are some great resources out there:
