Balance in the New Year
01 Jan 09 | 10:59 PM Filed In: Personal
2008 was a year of
adjustments. My day job involved me in two additional
large-scale events which happened about a month apart.
Both events were first-time events which require
additional ramp up due to never having done something
before. One of the events will never happen again in
this community, and the other looks like it may become
an annual event. Thankfully things get easier with
repetition.
All that to say, I am working on balance in my life in 2009. To quote Mr. Miyagi, “Better learn balance. Balance is key. Balance good ... everything good. Balance bad, better pack up, go home.” Can there be balance in ministry? I believe it can, but what does it look like? For me, it will be working hard and planning ahead to prevent the tyrant Urgency from ruling my life.
With Urgency deposed, I can regain focus on my passion: volunteers!
