This morning I was cleaning up the breakfast table after my kid’s left and it was chaos and I turned it into thriving. Those of you that are students and think you don’t have a job, you do. All of us are doing this! Those of you who are stay at home moms and say you don’t have a job, you have a job. When you take a mess and chaos and turn it into something beautiful and good and useful, that is meaningful good work. Whenever we draw out creative potential, whenever we elaborate and unfold creation beyond where it was when we found it, we are following God’s pattern of creative, cultural development.” That is how he defines good work. Tim Keller says, “we are continuing God’s work of conforming, filling, and subduing whenever we bring order out of chaos. So what do we do with it? How do we not dread it? How do we build a world where we live in the pressure and still enjoy our lives? I’m going to share with you 5 ways to shift the way we view pressure and work so that we don’t hate it or dread it. We would be getting rid of really great other things. The goal shouldn’t be to get rid of all the stress and pressure in our lives. I remove my job, my kids, my marriage, the stresses of things I love like my kid’s sports and relationships I treasure. If I remove pressure from my life, I remove all my favorite parts. It forces me to depend on God because I can’t usually accomplish all that is required of me in a given day, week, or year without the strength of God entering and helping with these things. It causes me to be more intentional in my conversations and relationships. It produces great creativity and fantastic projects. I don’t see myself waking up a few weeks, months, years from now living in bliss and not having any pressure.
