Regaining Balance

Tonight, as I sit here listening to some music, reflecting on my life, I face a crossroad. A place I find myself at a lot. I constantly ask the question, "am I fulfilling my purpose?" I may struggle with this more then most, but I think as Christian's it's a logical thing to ask yourself on a regular basis. Do my values line up with the way I live my life? Does what I profess to believe guide my life and do my actions reflect those decisions?
Sometimes I can say yes, lately the answer has been no. I am so thankful for the guidance I receive from my best friends, family and husband. I have such a wonderful support system, people that know all me and still love me. People that know how much I change my mind and still go along with my crazy plans. I couldn't have gotten through the last year of emotional melt downs without them. You know who you are... Thank you!
I want my priorities to line up with what's most important in my life, so I will be soon saying goodbye to the job that has consumed the last 9 months of my life, 50+ hours and week and way to many brain cells. I am happy to report I will revisiting a career in senior, non-profit work and I couldn't be happier! I want to make a difference and I want to have fun, so I think this is going to work out beautifully. I can't wait to tell you more about it, so more is to come this week. I ask for your prayers this week. It's never easy to quit something, let people down and swallow your pride. I have been seeking the Lord and I believe he is guiding my path.
I would love to pray for you? Shoot me an e-mail, amandajane21@juno.com or call, I would love the opportunity to lift you up in my thoughts this week!
