Christmas and Purpose

Merry Christmas!
I am finally home on my couch. Courtney, Carson, and Cameron are all in bed. I just got a second to take a look at the calendar for the next couple of weeks and months. I have to tell you that I am extremely excited. Passion in Atlanta, Retreats in the Ozarks, Ski Trips in the Rocky's, and a trip to Kenya. I am so excited about the opportunities God has laid out.
I think I should be tired from the Holiday's, Dinner Theater, Christmas get-togethers, and carting my clan around the last few days. However, I am not. I find myself focused and relaxed. I believe, I have finally discovered a way to find the Margin in the midst of all the chaos and tyranny of the urgent.... COURTNEY!
Courtney is my margin. She doesn't add stress to my life. She is a breath of fresh air. She handles everything in the family so well. I am more and more amazed at her ability as Mom. I was interviewing for a job one time and a man asked Courtney if she had been called to work with students like I had...he implied that we should be a team at church and she should have the same passion I do. She quickly answered, "I am called to be Jason's wife, one day a Mom, and do both of those the best of my ability." I was amazed and still am at the clarity in which she understands her purpose. She'll never have a website or be recognized on a major stage and she is ok with that...they were never in line with who she was created to be.
What is your purpose? Are you content in your purpose? I pray this Christmas Season will find you content in your purpose here on earth. Be You!
