In the midst of moving to a new city, expanding our financial support team and getting ready to launch a new metro ministry, my margins have been thin lately.
Five years ago I would have struggled with the stress of this season of life, but right now I’m doing pretty good because of a few things I’ve learned along the way.
- It’s only a season. Things will either calm down naturally or I’ll start weeding some things out soon.
- Change and being uncomfortable has an incredible influence on my walk with God. Stepping into the unknown forces my dependence on the Lord. I’m so thankful for that.
- I don’t need to control everything. My significance is not found how well I have life under control or how many of our pictures we’ve actually hung on the walls of our new house.
Just some thoughts for you. I hope they’re encouraging wherever you’re at. How have you dealt with thin margins in your life?

great post buddy. our lives are very similar right now.
we are just about to start all the things you mentioned, and your thoughts are a great reminder as to why God calls us to uncomfortable and unseen acts of faith.
