Making Space for Grace

What kind of widget is this thing? It's a simple game where you work to get all the numbers in a sequential order. The key lies in the empty space, as you move tiles through the space, moving the pieces around to get the rows all lined up.

So, it is with our lives, the space we give to 'move' and 'flow' into a new position is essential to getting things 'in order'. Perhaps you like me, have a longer list of 'to do's' with less time than desired in which to do them.

That's the amazing mystery of giving space for flexibility. In this game, you have to sort through the tiles one row at a time to unlock the sequence. It's the same in God's eco-system. When you try and handle too many tasks at once, it only adds to the complexities and confusion.

Starting with one row at a time allows engagement, intentionality, and grace to the journey. Slowing down is actually a way of becoming more centered, and emotionally grounded within yourself, with others, and that never ending list of tasks.
