God doesn't always send us a family in the way we expect, but God always has a plan. We just need to wait for Him to show us His plan, and be open to sharing God's love with all people.

Why is it that some people are content, while others never seem to be satisfied? One important aspect of having a balanced life is recognizing that a balanced life does not mean that we are perfect or have a perfect life. Having a balanced life means learning to manage physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual needs of yourself and your family. As a Christian man or woman of God, we must learn to accept failures and bumps in the road. Today I'll be sharing information from my Bible study entitled "Balance: Christ Filled Living." I'm going to be sharing the information from chapter three that is entitled "Balance - When Life Seems Overwhelming."
