Barbecues, beach parties, and bonfires are beckoning me to be distracted. But I need to get away from urgency and guilt of not meeting everyone’s needs to focus on being instead of doing.

I’ve been on a four-weekend speaking sprint and I’m exhausted. Running on fumes has left me in a spiritual comatose.

Between working, sitting in traffic, studying, balancing a wedding budget, speaking, and the ambitions of being the forlorn lovechild of Martha Stewart and Jillian Michaels, I’m ready for a break.

Ministry isn’t a profession. It’s a lifestyle. It’s what we do. It’s why we are created.

But lifestyles can drive us to do instead of be. Be still and know that I am God. Uh, yeah—still trying to balance that out. I don’t know how to necessarily be still. Matt thinks I have ADD but I told him I don’t believe in—SQUIRREL! Um, what was I saying?

Instead of doing Life, let’s be in it. Savor the moments with the Savior. Take time to make time for the One who made time. If not, we become concierges in life simply moving to the whims of people and their demands.

Be in the moment by doing nothing but enjoying it.
