Ulrich and I were driving back from our weekly life planning date where we smash a couple of burgers and lay out logistics for our life. I always hope that we will fall into a deep conversation about what more we can be doing to live out our call... But many weeks, keeping the trains on schedule is as good as I can hope for.
On the drive back, I asked "what do you feel is the current biggest pain point in our life right now?"
He thought for a moment, "Not enough time to do everything at work and home and rest."
"Where would you want to carve out more time?"
I thought about the long task list wee had just brainstormed. It would be fun to knock some things off this weekend. I thought through how to plan out the evening and Sunday. I wasn't feeling well and Andrew was also a bit under the weather.
"Let's just do nothing."
There are times and places when doing nothing is exactly what we should be doing. Snuggling sick kids on the couch, being in love, waiting for a door to open or close.
Faith is sometimes a call to let go
of tomorrow
Of control
Of busyness
Of everything
And just wait on God.
Tomorrow is the start of holy week. May out be a blessing to you.
