I am sure that most of you look as happy as this woman as you juggle all of life’s things from day to day 🙂 …
….but, I have to admit, there are a number of times when I feel like this woman as I attempt to balance all that life has for me…
One day at a time, sweet Jesus!
Know that you are not alone in your quest to juggle and balance all that life has to offer. May you be encouraged that He will not give you more than you can handle.
Let me encourage you (and me!) to give everything to God each morning. He is faithful to help us to prioritize and handle each one.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

I so connected to your comment, “One day at a time, sweet Jesus!” However, I feel some days that I am praying it one MOMENT at a time sweet Jesus, please carry me through!
Thanks so much Kristin for your thoughtfulness!!

Kristin,
Nice to hear your “blogging” voice again! Hope you had a wonderful Easter.
I definitely am prone to feeling like the woman in the second picture! I think my biggest problem is making things on my “to-do” list a higher priority than where God would place them! For example… while the kids have been on vacation I’ve let my housecleaning slide and I’m feeling guilty about it! But I’m pretty sure God doesn’t really care that there are toys all over the floor, as long as I’m caring for my children well. You know what I mean??
Thanks for your encouragement and the reminder to look to God for His direction!
Love,
Steph

Ah, Kristin! I was just thinking last night that I hadn’t received Sincerely, Kristin in a long time and I was missing you! You must always be juggling with hands – and feet. I remember you and your family in prayer, dear Kristin, and think of our friends in Chile entering autunm as we are entering spring…
Some of the women in our church just finished up a Bible Study by Beth Moore entitled, Believing God. What a powerfully encouraging and challenging study it was. We are not to just Believe in God, but to Believe God. That keeps us juggling without dropping the ball as often:-). Love you.

WOW! I sure needed this verse today. I feel like the mom on the bottom and add a whole bunch more things to her juggling act. Thanks for listening to God and knowing that I needed this today!
I have been the trial manager for a research trial we are doing and have been on call 24/7 for the last 10 days — then Justin got a flu bug the other day and just screamed and threw up all night! Finally, the trial is done and Justin is happy again!

Hey there Kristin
So good to have a post from you, especially one so relevant, and FUNNY.
Love it.
God’s grace is really some amazing stuff. When I remember to ask him to step in and get me through on His strength till naptime, I wonder why it is I don’t ALWAYS remember to do that. He’s got mad skilz when it comes to patience and perseverance. LOL.
XOXO
