Time...

I am finding it harder and harder to either find the time or make the time, whichever it may be, to DO all the things I want or need to do. ahhh.... I don't really know if that made sense, but I understand it in my head.
My strategy is to, of course, take care of my responsibilities first, and THEN do what I find enjoyable...things called hobbies... you know, cooking, baking, playing the piano, dancing, reading, etc. (Oh how many hobbies I am wanting to add to my list of hobbies, it's crazy!! kayaking, floral arranging, painting, scrapbooking, cake decorating, paintballing, learning about an engine...I could go on forever!!)
What I often have a difficulty with, however, is ever breaking free from all my responsibility...there is ALWAYS something productive I could be doing... if it isn't working on the farm (which is my main priority right now) it is cleaning the kitchen, making dinner, or organizing another list of things to accomplish tomorrow. Is it possible to get a break?
Then I must add the factor of PEOPLE... Spending time with them is a priority, obviously... "oh oh, we need each other..." How do I possibly balance this time in? Oh sometimes it's just too overwhelming. Okay, I know it doesn't have to be... I just tend to over analyze.
In conclusion..... I pray to remember and live by Matthew 6:33............
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well." Ahhh.... peace.
