It's our final week of the challenge and we are talking about a controversial topic. Is life balance possible? As working moms, we are doing the very best we can to hold it all together. Then to have someone say that balance is not possible. Something has to give. You know what will give? Your honest to goodness effort to try. And it is a slippery slope when you start to lower the bar. It will keep getting lower and lower and lower until one day, you will look up and wonder… who is this person? This is not me.
It’s not about being perfect or proving something to someone. It’s not about being in denial or being a martyr. It’s about being the best version of you for those around you. It’s about leaning on God’s strength when you don’t have strength of your own.
It’s about choosing each and every day that, that day is worth it to give it your all and believing that yes, you can do this life. The life that God called you to. The life that God blessed you with.

This week’s challenge is about cultivating your community. Yes, we have talked about this before. In fact, it is one of the pillars to having balance in your life. If you are new to the show, we believe that Life Balance is possible when you have three things. 1. You put God first in your life. Following Jesus. 2. Is community and 3 is systems.
Why is community so important? Because when you live your life in a vacuum all your problems seem bigger than they actually are. We become self-focused and self-consumed and it’s just not good. We were not designed to live that way. Plus, as a working mom, we need help. We need prayer. And we need accountability from other Godly women in our lives.
Honestly, this was the hardest thing for God to teach me. Following him, yes. All day long. I wasn’t raised a Christian so I know all too well what life feels like without him. And systems, well after I first rebelled against them, I now know that following systems is my self-care. It makes it all work.
But community? I am pretty self-reliant and independent. Plus, I am an introvert...so this was a hard one for me. Not to mention I am human and have lived. Meaning I have been hurt by people. Deeply. So why not just live on an island (metaphorically speaking) with my family and that just be enough? Well, a lot of reasons but let me give you 3 of what I believe are the top reasons.
(You gotta listen to get them!)
