As I sat listening to the lesson on balance I realized that it truly was a lesson I needed to have and apply for myself. The topic was specifically about how as a church member or leader in the church we may feel guilty when we are not able to be at church, or will schedule our vacation, family activities or even self care around church. The lesson went on to speak about how being out of balance is not what God intended for our lives.
I recently had a conversation with Bryan about how much time I spend at the church. We live 60 miles away and he was concerned about what the travel time is costing me in gas. I shared with him how guilty I felt that since I left my corporate job I have not been able to contribute financially to the church like I used to so I now give more of my time to compensate. He understood but so did I. The lesson this evening had me take another look at how I can better balance the time I give to the church with everything else going on. I had the epiphany that God does not want us to to be guilted into serving beyond our realistic capacity. I felt like a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders.
Today I am honoring my husband with a lesson on leadership. The lesson is that Jesus wants us to be great leaders that live a life of balance. He knows my heart and wants me to better balance my time at home with my time at church. Honoring my husband with this leadership lesson is like having a new leash on being a servant leader for Christ. It is so awesome when the Lord releases us in a new way.
Wives of the world how can you honor your husband with this lesson on leadership? Is there something that you are overly committed to, church, work, extended family or friends that may be impacting your time with your husband? How can you honor your husband with this lesson on leadership today?
Blessings,
