Tired and Overworked

So yeah!  I’ve not been blogging very much lately.  Right now life seems so demanding.... Correction!!! Right now work is way too demanding.  My whole life/work balance is off kilter.  I feel like I’m losing it a little bit actually.  I’m managing multiple projects, fighting production issues and have absolutely no time to execute on any deliverables during the workday because I’m in meetings all day.  I come home to my beautiful family.  Spend time with the kids long enough to eat and put them to bed and attempt to give my wife a little of my time before I break the laptop open and respond to email that I didn’t get a chance to.  I do this over and over again until the weekend comes and I’ve found that I’ve worked at least 20 hours from home.  

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what I’m doing with my life….with my purpose.  

You see, I’m a hard worker.  I consider myself a loyal employee and give 100% of myself to what I do.  But I wouldn’t consider myself an overly-ambitious person either.  Having a successful career is not my highest priority.  I’d much rather be a loving, committed husband, father and friend.  People are my passion.  I do what I can to incorporate that very passion in my relationship with my coworkers.  

I absolutely love what I do for a living.  But right now…I’m not having fun anymore.  I’m not having fun because there is not enough of Seneca to go around.  And my wife is not getting the best of me.

I don’t want to look around and find that all this hard work that I’ve been doing has been misappropriated.  That my efforts have fizzed into nothing.  So those out there with a praying heart.  Please pray for me as I assess what in life is worthwhile and the best use of my time on this earth.

Thanks
