“I really need that space in my own home”

I sat in the cafe. It was December and work Christmas parties were in full swing. Across from me sat a stretched, focused Corporate Business Owner. They had just had their Christmas work party. In the process of setting some boundaries around what they personally would be doing in that celebration, an employee had taken offense.

The rest of the story read like we have so often come to hear: offense, rejection, flip the narrative, accuse, blame. Brene Brown storyteller and researcher on vulnerability and shame, calls it the ‘shame game’.

This leader looked at me and said, “I need that space you mentioned. Space in my own home to just step out of all the noise. I really need time with God.”

Presence space.

A literal physical space in your own home where nothing else happens, but you, God and space. There the Presence of God fills, moves and in a second, splits through the noise, fog, exhaustion, distance and immerses everything with clarity, hope, peace.

Sound like a luxury? For this corporate leader, it was a necessity.

It is for every single one of us.

As a Christian TV add in Queensland Australia once said, “We are stuffed without Jesus.”

Give yourself the greatest gift..

Time with God
