Thank you all so much for your insightful thoughts and encouragement! I knew I could count on you for some great advice and reminders!
Thanks to you I am reminded:
1. To never to get too busy to have time to pray and read God's Word.
2. To not let my volunteering and/or business work get in the way of my family. My husband reinforced that for me last night by admitting that my crazy schedule was making him feel pushed aside. I totally need to stop taking my family for granted!
3. That there are ways to have the craft business without letting it control me. I can manage it better just by only posting the items that I've already made. I know it sounds kind of obvious, but I've been posting pictures of the fabrics I have and then having to create everything that gets ordered.
4. That while serving my church is important, I need to recognize my own limits too.
5. And I am reminding myself that I need to carve out time to be healthy physically too. Exercise, eating healthy foods, etc. are also important for me and my family. I've yet to even really start to eliminate gluten from my diet (based on the diagnosis in May) because I've been too busy to even read up on it and explore the changes required.
Anyway, thanks friends! I will keep you updated!
