WORK || LIFE

Today I face again the age old question...how do you balance work and life?

Work...there is a culture here in America that jobs consume people's lives...this fact is very apparent in the place that I work. People work lots and lots of extra hours...at home...on weekends. But we must work hard in the tasks given to us..nothing wrong with that.

Life...if we don't live to appreciate what we have (though a job being one of those), then what's the point?

*sigh* no answer today. just the struggle.

over the course of a week.

Watching this, put me in awe again of God’s awesome creations of both the heavens and the earth. It’s so beautiful. It makes me happy knowing such purity exists somewhere on this earth.

I'm alive.
