One thing we can all agree on is that it's all HIS timing.Life Happenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302134343874268994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607227352641576551.post-23248762230984860942011-04-08T13:16:37.391-07:002011-04-08T13:16:37.391-07:00Know how you feel about trying to balance so many ...Know how you feel about trying to balance so many things and wondering whether it's too much....

But perhaps thats the lesson to be elarned, surrendering, asking for help, knowing we can't do it alone. And how much better do we feel when our wonderful husbands step in and help?! The idea of them doing can make us feel stressed or like a failure, but when they actually do, dont you just take a huge sigh of relief. It would be great if we could do the same with God. :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022175407912153277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607227352641576551.post-42407147005822124612011-04-08T07:15:24.995-07:002011-04-08T07:15:24.995-07:00Hey Jess, I wanted to say that I really agree with...Hey Jess, I wanted to say that I really agree with what Amanda said. I have felt very out of control when it comes to IF, so I feel like I have to control other areas of my life instead. Like exercising, eating well, etc. Those things I can change and have control over. It is so tricky sometimes to have that balance, isn't it? I can totally relate to this post.<br />Thankfully, we both seem to have wonderful husbands to help and support us along. Big hugs to you! xoGood Timinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057857436371668151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607227352641576551.post-24666993240564156152011-04-08T06:36:43.165-07:002011-04-08T06:36:43.165-07:00What a great post.

I've learned, especially here lately, that it's ok if everything isn't done. I just want to take the time to love on my family a bit more! It's awesome to have such a supportive spouse; I know that helps for me!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677372870856348302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607227352641576551.post-50801957489747748792011-04-08T05:42:47.269-07:002011-04-08T05:42:47.269-07:00I think the feeling of wanting to control everythi...I think the feeling of wanting to control everything is amplified when going through IF. We have so little control over our bodies, so we try to make up for it in other aspects of our lives. At least that's how I feel sometimes.<br /><br />Colin sounds like such a wonderful husband, you two are lucky to have eachother!A m a n d ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522409790762503985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607227352641576551.post-34140676775933778342011-04-08T04:29:13.047-07:002011-04-08T04:29:13.047-07:00Jess-- I struggle with the exact same things.

That has made me even more controlling about things that I can control. The clean house, cooked meals, etc. It makes me feel like I still have control over at least SOME aspects of my life. I too have trouble delegating. Even if I ask someone else to do it, it won't be done MY way. But really, does it even matter? It just needs to get done. I too have the same feelings about my relationship with God. Am I not letting myself feel his presence and love? I want to feel that peace everyday. I pray that you are doing well. Take care!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241246199857026259noreply@blogger.com
