Balance ? What's that?

In support of

Hey friends,

So it's 3:13 am.  I woke up to me falling out of bed. Literally. I slid right out onto the floor!  If you are laughing, it's totally okay! I am too. And I am fine, no injuries to report. I figured it would happen sooner or later, but regardless, it's embarrassing. And my sweet wife missed the moment. She's sleeping fine while I am typing this to you!

Much of my life right now is related to acquiring balance! Yes, for the body, and yes, for the mind! Both are super essential. 

Balance is something I would ask you to pray about. Yes, certainly for me, but also for you. We appreciate each and every prayer!  But so many of our friends are saying they are struggling with their schedules and their priorities. Keeping family first, maintaining work responsibilities, taking care of personal things, and much more. This is where I want to challenge you to view your life through the lens of Proverbs 3:5-6. What a great passage to give us both encouragement and a loving warning. Ponder this passage from long ago.

"Trust in the Lord,
With ALL your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding!
In ALL your ways,
Acknowledge HIM,
And He shall direct your paths"    (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Thanks for letting me take a minute to encourage you to examine your life. Be honest with yourself. Where have your priorities actually gotten out of order? What changes do you need to make to bring BALANCE to your world?

Brief Update: We finished the most recent Chemotherapy schedule last night. Maybe that explains me on the floor! So now I am doing Physical Therapy and waiting for a trip back to Duke Medical to have a MRI and assess the treatment progress. That will happen in mid-May. Meanwhile, working on my balance!

Bless you all. We love you. Thanks for your prayers!

Greg

I think you fell out of bed for me! I am so out of balance- I feel like I am a fast train with no way off. What you said plus being a new grandparent and caring for an aging parent. Proverbs3:5-6 is my go to verse and I havent gone to it in a while. Thanks for ministering to ME this morning.

Hey Greg! Thanks for sharing your encouragement! Proverbs 3:5-6 is great. I love how God’s Word is absolute. We are to bring All concerns, All praise, All glory to Him in All that we do and He will be with us Always. His word leaves no doubt. I recently had a reminder of that when I needed a pacemaker to be installed. Reflecting on how God shepherded me through the whole process is humbling. Continuing to pray for you and your family.

Good afternoon Greg,
I didn't laugh because I am so very happy you are okay. I truly love what you wrote. I had a flashback, I was in Beach Church watching you on stage sharing this message. God is so good for blessing you and your audience. I feel I have Pastor Greg back. Thank you God and of course you Greg. He s definitely working and I am loving it. I pray each and everyday for you, Joannie and the family. He's just allowing you to serve Greg being you have served us all these years. We all love you. Prayers and many blessings for this and all days.

I can hear your humor through this message (lol), and receive your wisdom and challenge about finding balance in life overall. The busier we get, the more it feels like walking on a tightrope, trying to maintain balance and make it to the next thing. So appreciate you and thank you for your words of wisdom! Love you guys! Praying without ceasing!

This is my life verse Pastor Greg, I always can go to this powerful truth when I’m off balance as challenges come. Trusting God is where we put our faith and hope in. I am thankful He is trustworthy always.
God has you and Lord God I ask that You touch your son and realign his balance in sync with his mind and body, in Jesus Powerful name,, Amen
