With my new responsibilities, I have been way busier. In my head, I complain a lot about the new amount of meetings I am in and how busy I seem and how I wish I had more time for the things that really matter.

Yesterday, I actually had an afternoon with no meetings. When the time came, I couldn’t figure out what I should be doing. I sat there thinking “I know I have a ton of things to do, but what are they?” I am used to being so busy with running around, that I have a difficult time living a different way.

I am going to try writing down the important things so I can remember them when I have time that isn’t filled up; a list of critically important tasks that I can always pull out in those moments.

Advent can feel like a sprint for Church Technical Artists—long days, tight deadlines, and the pressure to make every service flawless.

But while you’re pouring yourselves out, who’s pouring into you?

This season, we’ll send short, soul-filling encouragements to help you pause, breathe, and refocus on the One this is all about. You’re doing holy work, but you’re not meant to do it on empty. Let this be your reminder to slow down and spend a few quiet moments with Jesus. You need it—and you deserve it.
