It's hard to let go of things, and as it is with our physical "stuff," so it is with the stuff we hold onto in our minds, hearts, and emotions. Today we're talking through what happens when we clean out the closet of our souls. What have you been holding onto that just doesn't fit you anymore? It doesn't mean you don't appreciate it, or think of it fondly, but it's time to do the hard work of saying thank you and cleaning it out. What this creates is a life that feels crafted for who we are now and who we are aspiring to be, without the extra weight of the past.

Let's talk about the GO! I've felt the "go" in me since I was little -- that drive to go somewhere new and experience something exciting. Whether near or far, with a huge budget or just living normal life in a different location, getting away will nourish your soul, challenge your comfort zone, and shore up what you believe about God, yourself, and others. Go for it!

Is your schedule overburdened? What does margin time practically look like, and realistically, HOW do we experience more of it amongst our demanding, full lives? We hear a lot a balancing your work and your rest/recreation, but I want to talk about the holy practice of Margin Time. Yes, the time that is blocked off for the sake of space, breathing room, and availability for God, yourself, and the people in your life. We talk about Jesus' example of margin -- he was unhurried and unscheduled, and lived in a constant flow of connecting with his father. His ministry was inside of his margin time, and he often said no.
