Step 5: Have more Faith in Christ
As a mom, I am always juggling. I don't know why I tend to be such a control freak about the things I am juggling - keeping them all to myself. Especially, since I tend to drop things often and tire easily. I need to replace my prideful faith in myself (thinking that I know everything and that my way is the best and only way) with a humble faith in the best juggler of all time - Christ. He is my caring coach who helps me build strength and guides me to know which items to hand off to my partner, or to set spinning somewhere else. He will even daily hold up my tired arms, spot me whenever necessary, and take care of all the things I drop. Juggling is just like basketball or any other sport, in that if you want to work on your technique - follow through, hang time, etc.- you should always listen to your coach. To faithfuly follow through this year, I am going to need to have more faith in Christ my Coach. He really knows what He is talking about.
If you get a minute this weekend, I would love to hear about the areas in which our Coach has been giving you tips and techniques.

I always remember a quote by Andy Stanley, "Priority determines capacity." If I focus on keeping my priorities in line (time w our Lord first, hubby, kids, etc...) then He will increase my capacity and fill me with His strength instead of my own. This allows things to get done and peace to fill me to the brim.
You are so very wise Shannon! Thanks for blessing us all with your insight! - Sarah
