My New Reality

I've been learning a lot in regards to many things over the last several months.

I'm learning a new job which has added a different kind of stress to my life.

I'm learning that I must be meticulous in how much I guard myself from others. Especially in my role as a pastor's wife.

I'm learning how to balance family, church commitments, work, and what it takes for life to work.

But most of all, I'm learning that I have to accept things for what they are.

Life will never be exactly as I want it to be. I am learning to accept that I am not meant to have some of the things my heart desires.

In fact, at this point, I am meant to be here, right now, raising my children, being a wife, and fulfilling commitments while other parts of me go neglected and will always be so.

I do realize everyone is different and unique in their needs and desires. I am no different, but acceptance of what's to be a reality must happen...and for me, it means a life of putting others first while denying myself.

And that's okay...

...but at what cost...


It's reality.

I'm glad you are finding a new balance Candace, and hope it really is fulfilling.

Almost everything we end up doing in serving the church ends up with a personal cost too. Things go unfulfilled, and sometimes we can get hit really hard by what we haven't done, become or achieved - it can be really frustrating and disappointing. For me it's been that 'seed falling into the ground'. I *hope* that if I give up the stuff I want and let it die that God will bring some fruit out somewhere in my life maybe somewhere I didn't expect.

It's not a 'now' answer, but it makes sense of being in God's will and yet feeling unfulfilled in some areas. HTH.
