​As Home Manager, I am often asked, “What does a typical day look like for you?” I will be honest and say that I have an entirely difficult time answering that question. I walk into work each day wondering what tool I will pull out of my tool belt that day! I have a list of expertise to add to my resume including: counselor, mentor, supporter, painter, interior decorator, schedule master, and most recently, expert grill assembler. I am beyond thankful for the many tools God has equipped me with - I will not get bored anytime soon! Along with balancing various tasks, comes a responsibility to prioritize, uphold patience, and use time wisely. Ultimately, it is a balancing act.

​I like to view the world as a large machine. We all work together to keep the machine running smoothly. For example, workers come into work so that the machine can continue to run (I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills if the post man didn’t come into work, and my bills would not be sent to me if WE Energies wasn’t keeping track of the energy used at my home, and so on and so forth). We each do what we can to maintain the motion of the gears. But, what happens when we are thrown off balance?

​Falling off the bandwagon does not mean we give up; in fact, losing our balance means we must work harder to make up for lost time. Keep pushing forward! Our residents sometimes struggle with this. They are late for school one morning because their baby was crying until 3am, and now the mother questions whether she should attend school at all. Boy, it is easy to think that way! It is easier to give up on something before “it” gives up on you, right? But, what happens when you find your balance again and make it to your goal – if you give up how will you know if you could get there? 
​So…as we move forward together, we should know that we have some back up ammo in case things go awry. We have our friends and family for support, we have the support of our family at New Beginnings, and most importantly, we have our Lord and Savior. We have all the tools in our tool belt! All we need to do is… keep pushing forward to live lives according to God’s will.
