The title of this blog comes from C.S. Lewis' candid account of his life and search for truth and joy. I like the way this author summarizes and contextualizes the title of Lewis' book within his life: http://personal.bgsu.edu/~edwards/surprised.html
I often find myself wavering between different personas: the mother, the theologian, the philosopher, the photographer, the friend, and maybe one day...the pastor. I was speaking with a well-loved Jewish Rabbi today who said that this quandry of the multiple selves is the essence of his spiritual life: seeking the right way to balance our roles as child of God, wife, husband, mother, father, sister, brother, friend, employee, etc.
How do you accomplish this balance? Does it come naturally or is it something to work towards?
My hope is that this blog can become a forum for those interested in voicing their pearls of wisdom along life's journey. Jump in, challenge, divert, suggest...
