Kelly, sometimes I still struggle with balance, after 18 years of marriage and 15 years of parenting (and 3 children later). But I will say, with only 3 years left until my first-born leaves for college, that my perspective has shifted somewhat. While I still want my house to be clean and the laundry completed (gotta have clean undies for all!), I have realized that time is fleeting and many times my to-do list is just a task list that can often wait while I give priority to the relationships in my life – with my husband, my children, my neighbors, etc. That pile of laundry will still be there, but the opportunity to connect with someone might not. I’ve become far less uptight as time has passed. I wish I could have been more like I am now when my children were little, but I suppose some of that is what we call wisdom…ha!

Being real is what it’s all about. If you were never “real” with posts like this from time to time, I would not want to keep visiting. Being real isn’t easy but God is growing me. The book sounds wonderful and I’d love to win! I also wanted to say that I also struggle greatly with the time and balance issue…blogging has become a hobby for me that I enjoy a lot, and also feel it is somewhat of a ministry. However, it is very easy (too easy) for me to be selfish with my time and I fight that as well! I love blogging b/c it is something I can do at home, but I know there has to be balance as well!!

I am a single never married 36 year old who still desires to be married and have a family of my own. I am so thankful for my other family, parents and siblings and nieces, but believe strongly that God has given me the desire and “calling” to be married one day and have children of my own. I believe the Lord has a special plan for Christian families to be a part of building his Kingdom and modeling to the world the relationship between Christ and the Church and within the Trinity. I also have a heavy burden to strengthen families and help to drive ppl back from near the cliff that leads to divorce. Anyway, all that to say I would enjoy reading the book you mentioned and will check it out online. thanks for your tranparancy, Kelly!
