My load and my limit


Margin is the space between my load and my limit. As a young dad and pastor, I often allow my load to exceed my limit, saying yes to every request for counseling, every party, and every meal invite. It wasn’t until a much older and wiser pastor asked me, “Who is holding a gun to your head?” that I woke up to how I was living. He taught me that if I don’t get ahold of my schedule, someone else will. I am a much happier pastor, husband, and dad because I learned the big word: “No!”
