Being marginal is unavoidable. It’s how we were created so God can work in us.
They tell us that we can do anything we want to do, be anything we want to be.
Then they weaponize it. If you *can*, then you must! W
God designed the shape of our souls with margins, just like a page in a book. If we bleed our story over the edges we aren’t leaving the spaces that He designed for us to offer to Him.
If we rip pages out of our book, or we don’t leave open spaces to fill with the unexpected parts of life… we aren’t thriving in our margins.
And you know what? Some chapters require a different margin setting!
Ultimately, no two books are alike and we all have to figure this out. In Marginal
Marginal Moms are those of us who are frankly over it.
It all begins with acknowledging that we are each marginal. That every woman has a unique balance and needs to find her way through her own story and that her pages must have margins.
Margins can be wide or narrow; Clean or written in. What do yours need to be? Do you even know? Have you seen them in
God never intended for us to do-it-all.
That was never His plan.
Let’s figure this out together.
As Marginal Moms our hope is to inspire each other to use our limited and marginal time, while we accept and acknowledge the individual life that God has given us to work in.
- We share joy and hope, volunteering as each other’s relief team.
- We don’t sugarcoat our support for each other, but we layer on the kindness.
- We don’t wallow in our struggles, but consistently offer strong shoulders to each other whenever it’s needed.
- We don’t judge your heart, but if asked we encourage each other to find the balance of a good judgment call when needed.
- We surrender our margins to Christ, knowing he’s the one who gave them to us to balance.
- We won’t tell you to “Go Wash Your Face!” without first offering to wash your feet by serving and supporting you well.
- We are not alone, and we are all figuring it out.
It took so long for me to acknowledge that I’m not created to do it all. Learning to accept how limited I am and surrendering to being marginal was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but you know what? It was also the most freeing. It led to being fulfilled and working in God’s plan for me in ways that I never knew I needed.
I’m not the best at this Marginal thing, but I’m willing to embrace my margins and share them with you. Will you join us?
