Balancing Act

The issues of life can challenge us. Sometimes we let go so much that we neglect the responsibility to care for ourselves properly. Other times, we may cross the line from taking care of ourselves to controlling others and outcomes.

There is no rule book for this balance. Having and setting healthy limits, healthy boundaries can be a messy process. However we need not be fearful, we don't have to do life perfectly. We can and should give ourselves permission to experiment, to make mistakes, to learn and to grow.

There are lessons to be learned that don't go away, so rest, trust and let patience have her perfect work. We can know that God is at work in us and through us for His good, our good and the good of those we love.
