as i adjust and settle in to the demands, frustrations and struggles of balancing ministry, school, and family, I find myself overwhelmed with work that needs to get done and must be done in a timely fashion, and finding quality time to spend with my wife. i know that this is a temporary existence that i find myself in, a season that will soon pass into the recesses of my mind and the timeline of history that made my life what it was. i desire above all else to finish the season well, to balance the demands to perfection and to gracefully stride into the next chapter that certainly awaits my arrival. however, in the meantime i must deal with ‘the now,’ with the present, with the situations and problems that stare me in the eyes and demand my attention and my action. it is my response to these events, my evaluation and my decisions that will determine to a great extent my course into the next, great chapter of life…
i must revel in ‘the now,’ because ‘the now’ is all i have.
