ecause certain things are left undone and I have no time to take care <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>m. My husband loves being home and with <strong>the</strong> family and for that I am<br />
very grateful.<br />
23C2y: TIME! I need to learn to manage my time effectively to meet <strong>the</strong> many<br />
daily needs – in all areas <strong>of</strong> my life. I try to keep a balance between <strong>the</strong><br />
spiritual and fun so that I am not too wrapped up in one or <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r. I’ve<br />
learned not to feel guilty when I cannot attend a church function or do<br />
something in/for <strong>the</strong> church.<br />
12B5t: I need quality time with my husband. <strong>The</strong> church work tends to take up<br />
all <strong>of</strong> his time day and night (with different meetings) and <strong>of</strong>ten on days <strong>of</strong>f<br />
too. I have <strong>the</strong> challenge <strong>of</strong> being a new mo<strong>the</strong>r at 38 years old and have had<br />
to reorganise home-life and work-life. I have yet to really find my calling within<br />

husband/family, as <strong>the</strong>re are <strong>of</strong>ten interruptions. Personally, I could use a<br />
close friend, o<strong>the</strong>r than my husband, to share things with and confide in.<br />
I make time for <strong>the</strong> Lord and <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> my spiritual life which is<br />
important to me. I really enjoy that time.<br />
12B4z: With regard to my church life I need to be more mission minded/get<br />
out <strong>of</strong> my comfort zone. My home life is good but could use a little more<br />
money for <strong>the</strong> extra things (but very content!). Personally, I need more time to<br />
relax and have time out; my kids keep me very busy. I also need more time to<br />
study God’s Word.<br />
22B4w: I don’t have any needs in my church life. I enjoy <strong>the</strong> care and support<br />
received from my cell group and I enjoy attending <strong>the</strong> services. I would love<br />
more time at home and with husband. I would also love more quiet time to<br />
