The Merry-Go-Round of Life

Round and round we go; its funny how life on earth is sort of like a merry-go-round. We ride the ride; up and down, round and round we go. We hold on tight and don’t let go. Well, that is until the ride comes to a complete stop.
Did you enjoy your ride; or are you left with regret? 
Lately, I am finding myself in a constant push and pull oppose to the constant up and down motion we readily expect in life. These past few weeks I have had several ‘behind the scenes’ projects/dreams coming to surface. I have been up crazy late and up way to early just to get it all done. The push until I can’t any more and the pull; is this what I’m suppose to be doing? 
I was giving up writing; I was closing my blogs, I was hanging up my ‘mom blogger’ hat. How did I possibly go from wanting to delete every social media everything to this? 
What am I doing? What am I being called to do? Is it write? Is it minister to others? Is it mentor? 
Truth be told, I do not know fully what is in store , but what I do know is there are big things happening. When we say ‘yes’ and don’t throw in the towel; like we so often have a tendency to do. We shut the doors before they fully open. We jump off when things get hard. We find ourselves regretting, confused, and frustrated as a result.
Well, this time friends this girls going to keep ‘pushing’ forward because i know in the end it will lead to an ‘upward’ motion of achievement. The ‘push’ is hard and the ‘pull’ is sometimes the hardest. It is a juggle and a struggle and one I could do without. In the end the merry-go-round keeps spinning all the while. It doesn’t stop so you can jump off whenever you please. There is a set time for you to exit and until the final ‘bell’ sounds. You will ‘push’ because you believe ‘you’ are capable of more! Sit, dream, and DO!

Five Minute Friday

A wife, a mother, a teacher, a house keeper, a chef, a counselor, and the list of titles goes on for this busy mom.

Imagine the possibilities. Can it be that God wants me to do more? How is it possible? I’m spread so thin as it is. There’s diapers to do. Beds to make. Children to teach and train. A husband waiting so patiently all the while. Just sit, ponder, and imagine all of that then;
Yes…then.. I’m brought back to a dream.  One of ministry. One of fellowship. One of community. Is it really about me? Or HIM? Imagine God calling your name and pulling your hand like a father crossing a child across a street. It’s constant.. at times a voice so quite I can barely hear it; while, sometimes so loud it’s all I hear.
What does this all look like? How will I find balance. Imagine the fear. Anxiety. Imagine he is there through it all; the uncertainty, the hard work, all the while he is shining like a star on a clear summers night….waiting!  Imagine his smile just waiting for you to say ‘YES’!!!
