It seems like our world today is almost a competition for who is the busiest, most stressed or who has the most on their plate.

Not. Cool.

I am really not sure how we got to this point, but I am relatively certain that being stressed to the max exhausted with not a millimeter of white space in our calendar was not God’s original plan.

But hey. I am not judging. I still fall into that trap on occasion too… So here is a quick video blog on my thoughts about protecting a bit of white space in our lives as we create margin– for God’s glory.

If you are reading this via email, click here to watch the video.

So… what are your thoughts? Do you have white space in your calendar? Are you honoring God’s margin in your life? If yes, how do you protect it and stay faithful to not running yourself ragged? If not, what do you need to change? Join the conversation by leaving a comment.

As I said in the video, I challenge you to take some time this week and really think about the margin– or lack thereof– in your life. Pray about it and see if you are walking right where you need to be.

Now if you will excuse me– I need a bit of margin with my daughter as we play in the floor and watch an old school episode of 7th Heaven.

Obeying His Margins (ok, most of the time),

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ~Matthew 11:28
