I am involved in a lot of the ministries in my church and I've come to realize that this year I stretched myself too thin. My main ministry - my family- is not getting as much of me as they should. So thank you for being one of the many reminders I have been given this week to drop some of my responsibilities so my family can once again be my MAIN focus.<br />THANKS!

I love that you have two separate planners, and I now plan to incorporate this into my life. As a stay at home mother I often struggle with balance, but having read your words I feel more confident in organising my priorities. I also wish I had a mentor, the need for someone older and wiser has always been unfilled in my life, how fortunate you are!EmmaFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772523238120795049.post-9469581100723189282012-01-18T23:03:34.192-06:002012-01-18T23:03:34.192-06:00{comments are from Todd}

@Sona - Great question! ...{comments are from Todd}<br /><br />@Sona - Great question! This will be the topic of a future post, but I'll give you a quick answer. I didn't so much put friends above spouse and children as I put a specific friend above spouse and children - a mentor. Someone who is older, extremely wise, loves God, has a deep knowledge of God's Word, and has successfully lived through the trials you either are facing or will likely face in your future. There is no more meaningful gift I can give Amy and my girls than a person who can fill that role in my life. The two men whom I currently consider mentors gave me insight, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and tools to handle challenges in our marriage that Amy & I found difficult to work through on our own. Amy received the same blessing from women who play a mentoring role in her life. For me Priority #3 is a natural extension of Priority #2 - Emotional Health. But it's so important I wanted it to have a Priority all it's own.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560481510263823627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772523238120795049.post-15883005335346478732012-01-18T21:49:53.035-06:002012-01-18T21:49:53.035-06:00{comments are from Todd}

It took me a few minutes and it was so interesting! Looking forward to more "Todd Talk." Great job!
