Find Your Balance

Some people are introverts and some people, extroverts. Yet too much of both is a problem, so we have to find a way to find balance.

I'm an introvert by nature. I like to retreat and self-reflect whenever I'm having a challenge or I'm struggling with something. The only problem is that I used to do it too much when I should have been reaching out to people. God doesn't want us to isolate ourselves when we're having an issue with something. He made people to help people and there are trustworthy people who can help us when we open ourselves up to them emotionally. It may mean being around people instead of being alone. I know enough about God that He will not give us anybody crazy when we earnestly seek Him for guidance and direction. He loves us and wants to help us. That goes for extroverts too. God wants to direct their paths, as well. And like introverts, they need to know what to do to find what works for them. It may mean doing more self-reflection and less people. It may mean spending more time alone than being around people.

It's all about finding balance and equilibrium and doing what's best for who we are, so we can be our best for others. The bottom line is that we just want greatness and that comes with striving to master the fruits of the spirit, which are "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control" (Galatians 5:22/23). That's balance.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa
