Courtney and I are out of town for a little vacation. A time to rest, refocus, and be restored. God is so smart. When we scheduled this trip, we knew we needed it, but now we know how bad. We are both exhausted. I have just come off back to back weekend retreats and I am in the middle of finalizing the details for six student trips we have in the next 5 months. To top it off...I am 20 days away from a trip to Kenya. It is time to slow down and find the margin.
Ah....it always comes back to margin. I have found one thing to be true these past two days....you have to fight for it. No one is giving Margin away and the enemy loves to keep us buried under the urgent and while we pass on the important. I will not. I will not carry the pressures, concerns, plans, or problems that come with student ministry on this vacation. That is exactly what the enemy wants and a fight He will lose.
Has it happened to your before? You missed out on opportunities for margin because you couldn't let go of the urgent? I hope that you will fight for the important and let the urgent go. Next time you have the opportunity to find the margin...go after it with all you have and don't let anything get in the way of finding it.
