Hey there,

Was reading something about balance and it really encouraged me.

Luke 5:16 NLT

"But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer."

Jesus modelled a life balanced by involvement and withdrawal, action and reflection, mission and meditation, effort and then time for spiritual energizing. This pace allowed Him to remain open to God's direction instead of human pressures.

What encouraged me was the first balance. "Involvement and Withdrawal" Ha! I never thought of withdrawal like that before. Retreating to the wilderness to pray to God. In times of hecticness, we need to take time to retreat and go to God in prayer and just be calm and still for a> moment. This encouraged me because God gives us time to be involve in doing His work and also time to withdraw from it to look into ourselves to take time for rejuvination. Like batteries. Need charging right? Well, we need charging too. The other 3 are very similar. It's a balance between doing doing and thinking thinking and feeling feeling and relaxing relaxing. =)

I'm glad I can see that and take this time to retreat for a little while to just read the bible and pray to God. To get back my calm and my centre and my focus. (Yoga hee hee) But seriously, yea. =)

Hope it's not just me who draws an insight from this. =)

When it gets too tough.... Be still and be quiet. Pray. =)

Love you guys so much! =)
