Margins

One of the challenges many of us have to deal with is creating margins in our life.  The 'routine' of our life is to fill every waking moment in motion.  So as day 3 of our 90 day challenge begins - there is an internal tug from my 'very full life' when I attempt to 'cram' another thing in.

The solution for me...Intentional Exchanges.  I trade doing one thing in order that I might do something else. In this case I will daily need to make a 45 minutes trade.

Will power is not enough.  We need a plan (preferrably not 'I will do that later...') and we need a person who can lovingly encourage us.  Remember, the reading the story of God is a RELATIONAL, not just INFORMATIONAL matter.  (Day 3 - Genesis 28-40)

The 90 Day Challenge - through the BIBLE starts January 9th.
