The Fullness of Faith...

Is there any way to be a full time wife, mom and career woman, while also contributing to your community, enjoying friends and family and doing fun things?  NO
It's been a whirlwind.....I've been back to work full time for 5 weeks.  In and of itself, I absolutely love it.  I enjoy what I do and my job is a "get to" instead of a "have to".  That being said, I wake up at 2:30 in the morning to be at work by 3:30.  I miss out on getting Grace up and ready for school (Thank God for my husband!) I get off at 12:30 and am tired by dinner and knocked out by bath time.  I struggle to find the energy to do afternoon workouts, I have even less of a social life than I did before and it was already borderline non existent, my house always needs picking up, and I have to find time to even call and say good morning to my husband.  I know...I know...WELCOME TO YOUR WORLD, RIGHT!   I'm not complaining.  I'm merely stating that facts of my life.  It's a good life, and probably no less full and busy than the average working wife and mother.  But, at times, it is difficult to measure and value in terms of what I give up in return.  I am thinking about what I'm to be doing in this time.  I know it can't just be to get up, go to work, come home, go to bed and get up again to start over.  I try not to live for the weekend.  I find myself too joyful when I can sleep in until 4 a.m. (that's what time I usually wake up on Saturday's because my clock is off :o)
This morning, I got in my run,  a little housework, an afternoon movie with Grace and Dale, shopping for a few items and there was talk of a baseball game that didn't manifest itself... (GO SHOREBIRDS:O).
I'm grateful and blessed beyond measure.  I do question and wonder.  It's where these two meet that I find my faith the most whole and true and honest.  I'm doing that thing which I believe I'm supposed to be doing.  I wonder what else I'm supposed to be doing.  I want to do more.  I need to do less.
Lord I believe.  Help my unbelief.

EXPECT MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER THINK OR IMAGINE!
