Once We Know (31 Days of Balance – Day 30)

October 30, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

My daughter is sick.  I don’t know if it’s the flu or a bad cold or what, but her main symptom throughout the weekend was a sore throat that literally reduces her to tears.  We’ve tried many things over the past few days to try to get her to feel better: popsicle after popsicle, warm tea with honey (that didn’t go so well), cough drops (she thinks they’re candy).  Tonight

The Other Stuff (31 Days of Balance – Day 29)

October 29, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

The other night, I walked into the kitchen and nearly had a panic attack. (For a lot of people, that might be an exaggeration. For me, it’s a pretty accurate picture of what actually happened.) It was nearly 11:00, and when I walked into the kitchen I was faced with a sink full of dirty dishes. Not that big a deal, but all I could think about when I saw

The Craftiest Thief (31 Days of Balance – Day 27)

October 27, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

As I sat down to write a post for today, I couldn’t focus my mind.  Part of that was because I was tired…but part of it was because when I opened my browser I was hit with bad news from all directions.  My instant reaction was fear and sadness…and I realized that instead of writing something new for today, I should re-post something I published a couple of months ago.

We are family. (31 Days of Balance – Day 26)

October 26, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard 1 Comment

As difficult as it may be to form a personal purpose statement…and then a purpose statement for your marriage…I do maintain that the work is worth it.  I have seen the benefits to both.  They are important. One thing I have tried to do several times, though, and have yet to successfully do, is to create a purpose (or mission) statement for our family.  Scott and I know what we

Neither, Nor (31 Days of Balance – Day 25)

October 24, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

My husband and I are homebodies. We love, love, love to be at home. There are few things we like more than getting food from somewhere (because – duh – I don’t have to cook) and watching a movie curled up on the couch. We are content living in our little house way out in the country, far away from drop-in visitors and the traffic that reminds us that we

Little Eyes (31 Days of Balance – Day 24)

October 24, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard 1 Comment

Yesterday we broke the ice on the idea of balance within a marriage, and today I’d like to get right into why this is so important.  As I mentioned, more is at stake when a marriage settles for imbalance than when an individual does so.  I believe that because I’ve felt and I’ve seen the impact imbalance can have on the marital relationship…not just on the husband and the wife,

State of the Union (31 Days of Balance – Day 23)

October 23, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

I’m a little surprised at myself.  I’ve spent twenty-two days now (!!!) writing on living a balanced life PERSONALLY – as an individual – and I don’t think I have really even touched on the idea of living a balanced life IN COMMUNITY.  As much emphasis as my church community places on living life together, it seems odd that I nearly overlooked the subject altogether in this context. Community is

More Than Food (31 Days of Balance – Day 22)

October 22, 2012 by Jessica Bolyard Leave a Comment

What I feel led to discuss today is not exciting to me. Quite the contrary. It’s a lot easier – and much more pleasant, may I add – to discuss things that I feel like I am doing well. It’s easier, too, to talk about things I know I need to work on, but that I’ve at least made some headway in. It’s easier to point things out if I

A Letter to 2020

Dear 2020,  I think I’m over you. I don’t think I’m telling you anything you don’t know; I also don’t think you can pretend that our relationship has been a healthy one. I’m just ready to move on from all that you’ve put me through. It’s time. I can’t take it anymore, and I have to believe that something better is coming, and soon. I have to move on and
