Life seems so fast-paced these days. Joe and I both work long hours. He's a chef and I'm in retail. I'm working 60+ hours a week right now, of course it's the season.
I don't know when it started, I just know it's caught up with me. I've put my family, church and other obligations on the back-burner because work has really had me tied up. I've been extremely emotional, stressed, and just flat out tired. I'm enjoying having the extra money, because it's nice not living pay-check to pay-check like many are doing these days. It's nice to not have to worry if the fridge breaks whether or not we can afford a new one. I like being able to run out and buy new clothes if I want and not worry about the budget.
But lately it's all been eating at me. I've come to realize the sacrifices I'm making aren't the sacrifices I should be making. What's really important to me? You know sometimes we get so caught up in life that we forget about who's life it's affecting. I know that lately my spiritual relationship with God isn't what it should be. I know the relationship with my husband and daughter haven't been the same. I know that I have to review the circumstances and find a resolution before it's caused so much chaos in my life that it'll take a miracle to get it back to where it should be.
I took that step today. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted and it's gonna be ok once again.
