Live*Laugh*Love

Three simple words…yet the reality of them is not always so simple. When life is balanced, it’s easy to live them out. Almost effortless…they just happen. Yet, when life turns into a freight train, you can be so focused on survival that there is no time to laugh and little time to love.

So how do we acquire balance? If your life is like mine busy is an understatement. Our family theme song is “Entry of the Gladiators” the icon of circus music. There are many occasions, as we pile in and out of the truck from one stop to the next, someone finds humor in the hustle ‘n bustle and will start to sing da da dadada da da da da da. While our silly little family joke definitely lightens the mood there is something much more powerful that sustains us.

Matthew 6:33 says, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” You see, I have found that my world can be spinning rapidly out of control but my God is the constant in the chaos. When my eyes are focused on my Father, it doesn’t matter how crazy and insane my days are. I simply have everything I need to make it through that day. But, when my eyes focus solely on the tasks ahead I’m overwhelmed. I’m defeated before I even begin. Too often we live our days that way. Girls, I don’t know about you, but I much prefer the outcome with my Father’s help.

No doubt, life can get messy. We have seasons of calm and seasons of hurricane force winds. There is a song by Hillsong titled “Desert Song” and I find myself singing these words often: All of my life, In every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship. So you see girls, regardless our current life season, we don’t have to be shaken. We can stand firm. We can find humor in the chaos and love in our Father. Balance and harmony can be achieved in any season of life when it’s a life living for their Savior. Stay focused. Laugh a little and love a lot. You are His beloved.
