Work, family, relationships, and mission all need your attention. When every part of the week is already spoken for, one crisis can derail everything and one unexpected opportunity can feel like an interruption.
Margin is not wasted space. It is the capacity to handle crises with grace and respond to kingdom opportunities with intention. Without it, we become reactive and miss both.
