Creating Margin in our lives

23 Agust 2009

From the 2th floor of my parents house from my desk , I throw my
sight through the wide open of the door of the balcony.
I’m looking out over the balcony on an after noon as the sun
still peaks it way a little through the clouds

2 and half hour before the breaking fasting time , 3 day of my
fasting day and three day of my rest as I creating
” MARGIN” in my lives one every years!

Everything I felt in smooth move , the clock in my room seem very
slow to move as same as my body and my mind
I try to fight my lazy body ( well we know the enemy on activities
is lazy) so I grab my book and start to writing…..

Dance my pen , dance… like a dancer with out a music
UGH ! seem my brain and my hand still struck! I felt like loosing
a tune can’t work together

For the three time, the sheet of paper my book, end up becomes
trash on top the floor of my room
Sitting on my chair with my mind dancing flying around inside 3
and half x 9 my room ( well well am I want write a blog or I’m
trying becomes sales home/apartement hehheheh )

Around searching the words unfound! the music from the radio
kisfm just like a friend as company my quiet, as I was try hard
to find my words

Like nervous, I shake my pen with my fingers with out writing. I
tune my lips as follow the song, yep once while , I’m singing to
break the quiet, but my mind ….some where
No in the song, Not in the dancing pen!

Suddenly the tune singing on my lips and the dancing pen on my
fingers stop!
as my eyes flashing and stare down to the floor.

Yes, something was interesting my brain…

Like a dancer move, I reach down my body and grab one of trash of
my paper from the floor, for the moment my eyes just giving
treasure to the white paper sheet..

Yeah….
45% of the space on this sheet of paper is MARGIN!

( Well don’t get fool by me, I’m not thats kind a brilliant and
smart woman hehhe
I also just reading and knowing about margin from my bad habbit
to much reading…(drooling ms. reading)

Any way, Yes MARGIN

You wouldn’t read this “FACT” if the print ran to the edges of
the paper because it would offend your sense of proportion in
similiar fashion
our lives also need margin, they need proportion

Margin is :

~ The gap between rest and exhaustion…
~ The leeway we once had between ourselves and our limits
~ Something held in reserve for contingencies or unanticipated
situations…

If you are running thin on margin these days, my guess is you are
on overload in at least some of the following areas :

~ Too many commitments
~ Too much competition
~ Too much debt
~ Too many expectations
~ Too much ministry
~ Too many ….Bla…
~ Too much ….Bla…

Here are steps we can take to insure margin is built into our
lives :

~ Learn to expect the unexpected
because most everything takes longer than anticipated LEARN to
built margin into your planing

~ Learn to say NO, contray to YOUR perception you are not
indispensable
~ Cut down on the activities as the have a way of self -
perpetuating of multiplying

~ Practice simplicity and contentment choose to live with less

~ Get less done but do right things
assess all your activities as to their spritual authenticity

~ Decide to live the life of God…. whatever the cost

There are many, many, days where I don’t have any margin at all.
I am up at the crack of down and work until sundown.
I love the feeling of working hard and getting the job done,
specially when it’s time activities creating with my art
imaginative pics…phew!!!I can buzz my ass for hours and hours
just for my pleasure working with my art, I even not shake my
ass for turn around, when a hot guy past my face heheh nah….
it’s joke ugh, if I do that, then I missing something about life
then ha ha ha

in fact, as I write I was been in ran thin MARGIN = becomes
MIGRAN, quiet months ago, I got force by dokter as he was
creating margin for my life for one week …. not reading, Not
writing… damn well what a life!!! heheh well I m still lucky,
cause dokter only said not write, not reading… bla bla, but he
is not mentions not to Flirting.

Now I’m smart enough now to realize that I can’t sustain that
pace. I can’t build friendships at that pace. I can’t be
spiritually, emotionally and mentally healthy at that pace. My
kids can’t remember what I look like at that pace. Now I have
learned to look at empty spaces on my calendar as creating margin
in my life. at least I build margin into every year, and I guard
it faithfully. If need be, it provides space for the unexpected.
And if the unexpected doesn’t happen, well then, I have just got
margin.

Have you creating margin yet in life?

What do you thing creating margin in your life in determine inner
peace God Timing?

Do we have time for that?

Let’s be honest we find time to do what we really want, Yep be
honest enough to admit that basiccaly we do EXACTLY what we want
to do time :

~ Golf
~ T.V
~ Favored friends
~ Ect ect…

What we do and how much we spent time to have finishes our year
like a sigh,

Some months are spent in rest, work and recreation, some months
may be wasted in wickedness or just laziness.

How much is left?

or

Do you have left ?

The excuse we usually give for failure at spending time with God
is Time
” There is not enough time”

The truth is that for the most part time has nothing to do with
it!

You/we make time for what is of paramount importance to us if we
want to play 18 holes of golf badly enough,we will find the time!
Right?

Yeah now
Now it’s about the time…
I looked the watch
5.45… closer for my breaking fasting time,
and now it’s time
for I end up my writing
and now it’s time

As I creating margin in my lives in this session
as creating inner peace ” And Let the peace of God RULE in my
heart “
