T1 diabetes is a balancing act with correcting a high bg then ending up with a low and having to treat that to back to high, constantly working at getting those good numbers. Life it self is a balancing act too. So many things to be passionate about so many things that are over looked. Wasted time here and there...to much focus in one area and not enough in another. Trying to fit this in and that in. Importance over here and over there. Your head almost spins just thinking about it. Then as we walk on the balance beam we to have to do a juggling act...We MUST master the art!!! Why must we master this art and not drop all the balls or if we do why must we keep trying...why must we keep walking that beam?! It is a road we travel it is a road we must travel. Because our children matter, this world matters and all that is in it matters. Because it IS possible WE can walk with our hands lifted high praising him for it is He who will bring about balance doesn't matter if we fall but it does matter whether or not we keep going. Food matters because our lives matter, our neighbors matter because...life matters!!! It is not about perfection but about giving our all and stepping outside of ones self within our own homes and then that of our neighbor. We do have a purpose...that is to fill a need, not just one but many. So that the gospel will be shared through the lives we live. Balancing on that beam is living, is breathing. Let our hearts beat for one another allow G-d to keep breathing the breath of life in us..for G-d is love. To share the gospel is to live it. I am feeling the increasing need to bring balance in my life. My prayer this morning is that we persevere and continue to walk that beam with our hands lifted high. Amen. We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4
