Yep, just that. Finding a balance. I've found myself torn into different directions lately. A woman between two cities. My home and immediate family life is in Globe. My job and extended family life are in San Tan Valley.
Since the girls were born, we've reentered church. Through previous posts, you can see how that has gone and our struggle to find a church home again. With the help of my sister, we started to love all of what Mountain View Church had to offer. I love the vibe of it and the girls love having a classroom to learn and grow in. We've decided to go there when we are in the area. Martin loves everything about going there too. Finally, our family celebrates together. However, when we are home, there was a void. We continue to search for the answer. Today, I was guided to revisit a church I had previously attended when EvI was born. To my surprise, it is much like Mountain View and very close to home. Time shall tell. I guess lot of it is finding peace near home rather than wasting to time and energy to go to the valley for one event and go back home. It is taxing on everyone. On days I won't have anyone to worship with, I'll stay in town, worship and follow MV online.
We need to make a healthy balance for the girls. Help them feel more at home, near home. Get locally involved. Grow a sense of pride in community. Make less unnecessary trips to the valley.
