Like I was saying, I have been trying to find my center, and yes as someone who follows Christ I have always been taught and do know that Christ should be my center. But I am flawed. I am human and God knows this.
God has created in me a passion to be creative, to be jovial, to be overly emotional, to give of myself. And because of God's gifts to me I have allowed myself to be pulled in several directions that encompass these traits.
If you weren't aware, I have several pages and groups that I have created or started here on facebook. I have two blogs. My wife and I own a photography studio and I have just launched a new graphic design endeavor. Above and beyond that, I am an ordained minister so from time to time I perform the occassional wedding ceremony.
On top of these things, we recently moved to a farm and are hoping to create a beautiful and wonderful garden that we can grow many different things to help sustain our family and our friends and family at minimal costs.
Why do I tell you this, it is because I have so many interests that it is ridiculous; drawing, painting, computer graphic design, photography, gardening, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, goats, sports. That's just me. My children are very involved as well. My girls love playing outside in the fresh air. They are in girl scouts as well. My son runs track and cross country and participates in the high school band. My wife is so talented. She and one of our great friends have designed and plotted out our entire garden. She is a phenomenal photographer. Not to mention she loves our chickens and the entire livestock concept.
I think at the end of the day, my center is Christ and His love for me eminates through my love of my family through all of our talents, gifts, and interests. It may be tiring and honestly exhausting at times. But they are my world and I do all these things for them, which in turn, I believe makes Christ proud of His creation in me.
Just a thought...
