Finding that perfect balance takes practice and work like anything else I think. The fact that you are aware and really striving is big!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474235068190319096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640908675061331647.post-33374050251793739532013-09-02T21:27:08.374-04:002013-09-02T21:27:08.374-04:00I love this post.

Summer has thrown me for a loop, and I find that I need to get into a routine once more--not just one for my physical well-being but also one for my spiritual well-being. I do believe in the power of prayer. Best wishes Jessie as you find joy in each moment through Christ.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751729674145716517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640908675061331647.post-55057198758835547012013-08-30T11:00:52.452-04:002013-08-30T11:00:52.452-04:00I love that quote!

I have all these "goals" in mind (and they are all good ones!) of who I want to be and how I can become better. But it gets frustrating when I constantly fall back into the same patterns, and so I give up. <br /><br />My dad emailed me a link to this blog about making change (http://zenhabits.net/4/), but at the bottom the gist of it is:<br /><br />1. Start very small.<br />2. Do only one change at a time.<br />3. Be present and enjoy the activity (don’t focus on results).<br />4. Be grateful for every step you take.<br /><br />I love those steps because it reminds me to take one only one thing at a time, and put everything i have into enjoying it and really making it a part of ME. And then I be grateful for every small bit of progress Heavenly Father helps me achieve. And like you said, maybe I will end up a different person in the end, but thats the great part of putting the Lord first.<br />-Danica-https://www.blogger.com/profile/10303457395938139856noreply@blogger.com
