I've done a lot of driving over the past week. Almost 1,000 miles to be exact. I've been able to do some heavy thinking while I shimmy up and down I-26, and I have decided I need to slow it down. The nature of my job is fast paced - and I get so caught up in the 'go go go' that I never make time to enjoy the time I'm not working. Work life balance is where it's at. And even though it's not a new year, I've made a resolution to focus on just that. So here we go...
It's impossible not to care about something you have so much passion for. It's frustrating as hell to work with others that don't share that same passion. Sometimes I feel like it's my job to inspire them - to rekindle the drive and motivation. Although I wonder... at what point is it too late?

It's amazing to me that no matter what we're going through in our lives or what we've done, God is always... I mean always there. Our lives can have ugly written all over it, but God is a forgiving God. His mercy and grace is never-ending, and his Love is greater than anything we will ever know.
