I WAS NOT QUITE SURE HOW THE WORD MARGIN EXPLAINED THE QUESTION THAT WAS BEING ASKED SO I LOOKED IT UP IN WEBSTER’S 1952 DICTIONARY. SYN: EDGE, BORDER, BRINK, VERGE, BRIM. WHEN I FIND MYSELF ON THE BRINK, BORDER, OR VERGE, OF BEING OVERLOADED I MUST REST IN THE ARMS OF JESUS TO KEEP ME FROM LOOSING BY BOUNDRIES IN LIFE. IT TOOK ME YEARS OF SEARCHING TO FIND HELP THAT SHOWED ME WHAT KIND OF BOUNDRIES ONE NEEDS TO COME TO THE PLACE TO KNOW WHEN TO STEP BACK AND RE-EVALUATE EACH DAY ACCORDING TO GOD’S GUIDE LINES. HOPE YOU FIND EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO WALK THE NARROW WAY WITH HIM. LOVE, CJL :0) <

As a young woman, wife, mother, homemaker, seamstress, school aide and ministry leader I had no sense of margins in my life. After a time my body broke under the pressure. While I healed God taught me the correct use of the word no. I now don’t assume that every opportunity presented to me is from God’s hand. I wait for clear direction before making a decision. Those spaces of time give me the chance to be flexible and available.
