"No one can have it all..." we've heard this over and over, time and time again from people who lament their current life situations. "There is not enough time, not enough money, when, where, why and how? I just can't possibly do everything- I can't have it all!" But, I would like to challenge this classic line of thought. People who say this are absolutely correct, they can't have it ALL as they define ALL. But I believe that anyone can have it ALL when we re-define what ALL is for each of us.
Can I have the million dollar home, the bright red sports car, the trips around the world? Nope- not even close. But, I can have it all when I define ALL as a relationship with my Lord and Savior, a husband who loves me, two AMAZING kiddos, an extended family that I love dearly and a life that challenges me to be the best ME I can be.
When I define ALL to fit the season of life in which I am living- then yes! I can and absolutely HAVE IT ALL!
I have not always been able to see life this way- in fact there are days when I still struggle with it, but throughout the past several years, my life has taken me on an amazing journey and as I reflect on those days, now past, I can see that I had, have and will continue to have it ALL-- all that I need and ALL that makes me truly happy. I invite you to join me in exploring the simple things in life that are really the most important and together we can have it ALL!
