"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."
C.S. Lewis

New Weekly Topic - Balance

The topic for this coming week is balance, as in maintaining balance in your life.

From our lesson book:
When life is busy, you have a couple of options. You can over-commit to the point of burnout.  You can get so overwhelmed that you give up and drop out.  Or you can ask God to help you find balance.  A balanced life is a healthy, God-honoring life.  It's the kind of life Jesus lived.  He spent His days teaching, healing, and helping those around Him.  But, Jesus also took time out.  He dined with friends, went to a wedding, and climbed a mountain just to spend time along with His Father.  Want to follow Jesus?  Follow His example by putting firt things first and keeping your priorities clear.

For point, please post a discussion comment on whether you've every felt over-committed and like you were running just to keep up.  Maybe you fell that way now?  What have you done to cope with it before, what are some things you might do now if you're feeling that way?
