Coming Back!

Well, it's been 4 months since I've posted anything to my blog. So much has happened and yet it seems that it was just yesterday. Tax season came with a fury and hung on tight. It was a challenging season for me largely due to my new role as a reviewer. The most challenging part was balancing the various responsibilities. I continuously had to adjust my focus to the current tasks at hand. I struggled to know which project was the highest priority. I continue to face that even today.

I worked more during tax season than I ever have before. I maintained a positive attitude for most of the year with minimal times of negativity or feeling overwhelmed. However, I have found that I have struggled more since April 15 than I remember in past years. I have felt like I've really been in the valley this past 5 or 6 weeks. I have been torn in so many directions lately with work, home, family, Garry's seminars, and the list goes on. My number 1 priority for this long weekend is find some balance and to gain some organization in my inmost being as well in my day to day life and responsibilities.

I recognize that I have not done a good job maintaining my relationship with God over the last several weeks and months, and I long to reconnect with Him in that deeply personal relationship. I think blogging can help with that, so I feel that coming back to my blog is a physical evidence as well as a tool in me coming back to a close personal relationship with God.

Isaiah 44:21 (The Message)

21-22"Remember these things, O Jacob.
Take it seriously, Israel, that you're my servant.
I made you, shaped you: You're my servant.
O Israel, I'll never forget you.
I've wiped the slate of all your wrongdoings.
There's nothing left of your sins.
Come back to me, come back.
I've redeemed you."

God, I repent and accept your forgiveness! Thank you for your REDEEMING LOVE!!
