Rhythm

I'm linking up with Lisa Jo for Five Minute Friday today because that's what I have!  Hope your Friday is fabulous as you jump into the weekend!

The word of the day is.....
RHYTHM

Lately, I feel like I have no rhythm.  I'm not talking about dancing either....because I've never had rhythm for dancing!  I enjoy being on the dance floor but 'it ain't pretty'!  

But I digress...

I feel like the rhythm of my life is just 'off'.  It's been so busy for so long that I haven't had time to breathe.  I miss the nights when we can just hang out after dinner, do the dishes, and play with the little kids until they pass out.  I call it, "regular nights".  

It seems that those kinds of nights are more like special nights lately.  There are just too many nights with a meeting or an activity for one of the kids.  I just don't feel like we have good balance right now...and I don't know how to fix it.  Living the paycheck to paycheck life like most people....or actually the paycheck to OMG how am I going to make this last until the next paycheck(!) life like most people....is making me tired...and stressed.  

I find myself craving time...which there is never enough of....especially time reconnecting with my husband.

Praying about it....waiting on some answers.

for sure, we just KNOW when our life rhythm is just OFF. and I guess sometimes we just need to sit with it and let it play through ... or maybe a wake-up call will emerge from the off-tempo rhythm. whatever ... may you feel Jesus near as you walk through it all!

Thanks, Linda. Usually when something bothers me for long enough, I finally look to see if maybe God has a new direction.(It probably takes me longer than it should...I'm stubborn that way!:) But you're right...I Know that everything just isn't right. Not sure what the answer is but I'm sure there is one!
Thank-you for the encouragement!
Oh Michelle I am RIGHT THERE with you. On the busyness and the money. I don't remember what it feels like not to be anxious about how we're going to get through the month. I know what you mean about craving time, there just doesn't seem to be any that isn't already filled. Praying that things ease soon. Lots of love, Ruth

Thanks, Ruth! Sorry you are going through it, too! I'm hoping to find a way to work things better...all this anxiety stinks:( I hope you find some peace, too! Thanks for the encouragement:)
Michelle
We have done the paycheck to paycheck thing for awhile now but ever since getting rid of two car payments and going down to one, it has helped immensely. I hope that stress dissolves away soon for you.
