What does it look like to have a Balanced Life?

Along life's highway, sometimes our vessels go fast, go slow, and fishtail.  This journey is full of the good, the bad, and the sideways.  What does it mean to have a balanced life Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically?  You might experience a dry season, waiting season, grinding season, a season to say yes, a season to say no, test and trial season, Spiritual warfare season, or the season of joy and happiness.  We need to embrace the different season to allow God to grow us, prune us, and network us with others who can help us along this journey. 

Even Jesus went through test and trials.  He stood on Truth when the enemy tried to test Him by offering to give Him the world if Jesus would bow down to the enemy.  We must know who we are because of Whose we are and each of us are precious children of the one true God! We are all Kingdom Warriors.  We must vow to leave no man behind in this battle.  We must support each other and stand firm against the enemy.  The victory has already been won!  No matter which season I might find myself, I will praise the Lord because He has brought me too far to leave me now.
