Life Balance Series Preview

Do you feel like your life is out of control and pulling you in every direction? Do you wake up with the very best of intentions, but by the end of your first cup of coffee, all of those intentions have become irritations? Did you tell yourself you'd have to be healthy this year, but you've only balanced the empty ice cream container? Do you feel like other people have a direct connection to the big man upstairs, and he ignores all your calls?

If any or all of these things feel like you, you're in luck because we're all there! Yep...right about now, someone else you know desperately needs Life Balance.

This series is about how we can create spiritual practices that add meaning, purpose, and balance to our lives. Spirituality is supposed to help bring us to balance, not create more weight or craziness.

It's easy to make Christianity an item on a to-do list. Soon it becomes something that adds stress to our lives or weighs us down. We all get to points where we feel life is out of control and wish to balance everything life throws at us. When we live out our faith as intended, we receive energy from the things within Christianity and find them to be what grounds us instead of something we "do" every week. The goal of this series is to help us all in that practice.
