It seems like lately I have been made more aware of how life changes so much from one day to the next. Just this week I had an incredibly awesome day, and the next day was 180 degrees opposite.

With these kinds of swings I am beginning to feel a bit bipolar. I actually got to the end of this week and reflected on the heavy swings that took place throughout the week and said, “I can’t live like this week in and week out.”

My life feels so out of balance that it seems like I am walking a tightrope 100 feet in the air, and I am struggling to keep my balance. Too much of a good thing is bad, and too much of a bad thing is not good. Where is the balance?

Then I read in Hebrew today, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” I immediately put two and two together – I am walking a thin tightrope because my faith is too thin. My balance in life is going to come from God’s pleasure in me, and that happens when I rely on Him and give my everyday decisions to Him in faith. If I want to turn my tightrope into a bridge my faith needs to increase dramatically. I am not saying this is easy because these times make it incredibly difficult. But my balance in life is only going to happen when I have something wider to walk, and this tightrope is just too thin for me now.
