5 Keys to Making Space for Life-Giving Relationships

These 5 keys to making space for life-giving relationships can help you find balance when relationships seem off-center. There is a way to retain friendships but support the time constraints we need to foster our own inner peace and nurture those most important to us. This week we welcome Emily Grabatin to the blog to share how to build space for those life-giving relationships in your life and you can enter below for a chance to win a copy of Emily’s book Dare to Decide!

5 tips for making space for life-giving relationships

5 Keys to Making Space for Life-Giving Relationships

I felt worn out.

I had spent most of my life content as an introvert with a couple of close friends and plenty of solitude. Now I felt like Miss Popularity, whose schedule was packed with coffee dates, volunteer commitments, relationship drama, helping friends move, and Friday night invitations, plus wrangling the three-hour time zone difference to call my parents. Interactions that had once made me feel alive and purposeful now stirred an inner war between my needs and others’ expectations.

I knew I had to figure out how to reprioritize my time spent with people, but I felt stuck. The thought of disappointing or offending someone felt exhausting.

One night over dinner with a friend, I blurted, “I have too many people in my life. I don’t know what to do.”

It turned out she had a process for how she managed her relationships. Knowing this gave me permission to design my own framework for being intentional about the people in my life.

Several years later, as I was juggling motherhood, a full-time job, and getting serious about purpose coaching, I came across Tricia Goyer’s book, Balanced. I realized all over again how life-giving it is to create a filter for what gets your yeses or nos.

Here are five principles I have found useful in becoming more intentional about my relationships:

5 Keys to Making Space for Life-Giving Relationships

  1. Believe there’s a different way.

I could slip into a persevering mode, waiting for life to go back to “normal”, or I could use that sense of striving to remind me I need a fresh approach. Talking to my friend and reading the stories in Tricia’s Balanced helped me see other ways to live out the different facets of my calling.

 

  1. Clarify your values.

I made a list of the people in my life, as well as what I received from and gave to that relationship. Considering where I felt conflicted, I identified my values behind these interactions, such as responsibility and servant-heartedness. While identifying my values was helpful, it wasn’t enough. I had to define what living them out looked like to me. For example, for years I agreed to help anyone who asked. Once I had more demands on my time, I planned to stay at the end of events to help clean up, and chose to help certain people in ways that freed them up to do what they were called to do.

 

  1. Recognize the types of relationships you need.

Living a purpose-filled life means ebbs and flows of giving and receiving, nurturing and learning, solitude and interacting. When I felt overburdened, I made a second list to understand why—a list of the kinds of life-giving relationships I needed. Starting with my relationship with God and myself, I added others such as come-as-you-are friends, family, collaborators, new connections, mentors, and those I mentored. Making this list helped me realize I was giving more than receiving, and clarified the dynamics I needed.

 

  1. Create a framework.

To help instill these boundaries in my life, I created an ideal schedule of time-blocks designated for each relationship type.  When peers would ask to invite me to coffee their product party, I now had the language to decline or defer without feeling guilty or rude. This framework also gave me a way to check how “balanced” I was each week.

 

  1. Invite God to lead.

While a framework is a helpful tool, it’s meaningless without aligning it to God’s purposes. To avoid falling into people-pleasing or rule-following ruts, I continually have to ask Him, is this someone You want me to make room for? Or is this someone You want to guide elsewhere? It would also be easy to use it as an excuse to exclude the people who annoyed or drained me. Living a purpose-filled life means welcoming opportunities to strengthen my character or show God’s hope and love — and asking him God to help mature me.

 

5 Keys to Making Space for Life-Giving Relationships

People are the treasure of heaven. When circumstances shift, it’s time to get intentional about who we give our time and attention and to explore fresh approaches to doing so. Thankfully, we have a God who guides us beyond our understandingbeco. He becomes our strength even when we have little to give.

5 Keys to Making Space for Life-Giving Relationships

If you’re ready to move forward in your calling join Emily as she shares stories of when she needed peace, clarity and courage at life’s crossroads. If you have felt paralyzed from the fear of the unknown, being misunderstood and making the wrong decisions, you’ll find gentle grace and encouragement within the pages of this book. Through thought-provoking questions and practical strategies, you can design your meaningful life one small dare at a time.

Walk It Out #146: Defend Your Faith with Jesse Florea


WIO #146: Defend Your Faith with Jesse Florea Apologetics doesn't have to be a scary word. If you have kids, you're going to love this episode!

Defend Your Faith with Jesse Florea

Does the word “apologetics” scare you? I shouldn’t. The word apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia, which refers to a speech of defense, typically for one’s own self. When we study apologetics we are learning why we believe what we believe. This is important for everyone, especially kids.

WIO #146: Defend Your Faith with Jesse Florea Apologetics doesn't have to be a scary word. If you have kids, you're going to love this episode!

“Apologetics is an amazing evangelistic tool,” says today’s guest Jesse Florea. “It’s the Holy Spirit who softens people’s hearts to the truth of the gospel, but by studying the evidence and facts for Christianity, a person seeking the truth can gain even more confidence in his or her decision to follow Christ. Becoming a Christian takes faith and belief. Apologetics makes that belief much stronger because it’s built on facts.”

WIO #146: Defend Your Faith with Jesse Florea Apologetics doesn't have to be a scary word. If you have kids, you're going to love this episode!

Establishing a foundation in apologetics early on may also help guard against the church drift many young adults who grow up in church experience as they get older. Today Jesse talks about an amazing resource for kids. I know you’re going to love it!

WIO #146: Defend Your Faith with Jesse Florea Apologetics doesn't have to be a scary word. If you have kids, you're going to love this episode!

Who is Jesse Florea?

Jesse Florea has worked at Focus on the Family for nearly 20 years. For more than 15, he’s been the editor of Focus on the Family Clubhouse. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communications from Wheaton College in Illinois.
Jesse served as the general editor for the CSB Defend Your Faith Bible, an apologetics Bible for kids. He is co-author of The Case for Christ for Kids and The Case for Christ for Kids 90-Day Devo with Lee Strobel. Jesse has been a contributor to LifeWay’s Stand Firm magazine for more than a decade.

You can order Defend Your Faith HERE.

About the Book:

Why do you believe in God?

Answering that question might seem hard, but it’s important. And this book can help. This introduction to apologetics offers one hundred devotions that will give you real tools and real answers for why you believe in God and why you trust the Bible.

You’ll dig in the dirt to uncover archaeological evidence. You’ll be inspired by stories of real-life defenders of the faith, and you’ll see God’s fingerprints all over creation.

So ask the hard questions. Find the answers. And be empowered to defend your faith.

Worship is about God, who He is and His glory.

Five Simple Ways to Lift Your Spirits

**Scroll below to win The Giving Manger for your family!**

This Christmas you can use these five simple ways to lift your spirits and the hearts of those around you as well. By choosing to look outside yourself, you–and your family–can be blessed and be a blessing in this season of the greatest gift of all-time–the birth of our Savior. We are grateful for this guest post by Allison Hottinger who loves sharing the true gift of Christmas with others. 

Five Simple Ways to Lift Your Spirits

Have you cried more this year than you ever have before? If you answered yes, you aren’t alone.

If you look around at your neighbors, friends, and strangers, you will see hints of worry, sadness, and loneliness on their faces.

Now think for just a second: How would it feel if someone came along to lift you up right now?

What if they dropped a chocolate bar at your door?

What if they dropped a notecard in the mail for you?

If someone even noticed me at the grocery store right now, it would lift me up.

In some ways, it’s never been harder to lift the cloud hanging over us, but in others, it’s never been easier because a small gesture can go a long, long way. We have to do something to lift the people around us.

Five Simple Ways to Lift Your Spirits

Here are a few simple ways to practice kindness and giving to others that will not only lift the spirit of those around us, but will bring joy to our own hearts as well:

  1. Mail a letter to a senior in a nursing home


It’s as easy as printing out this service project packet, having your kids color a picture, and popping it in the mail. Getting letters are sure to make a senior smile when they can’t have visitors this year.

  1. Poinsettia doorbell drop off

five simple ways to lift your spirits

We all loved doorbell ditching as children, but have you done it as an adult with your kids? Pick up an inexpensive poinsettia (some stores have them as low as $5 right now) and drop it off at a neighbor or friend’s doorstep to make their day!

  1. Don’t complain for a whole day

five simple ways to lift your spirits

Have you ever tried to go a whole day without complaining? It’s tough. Choosing joy when we have the opportunity to complain is a quick gift to those around us and will often lift our own hearts.

  1. Leave a note on someone’s pillow.

The words “I love you” hit different when written intentionally and left on a pillow. A small gesture that can’t help make someone in your house feel treasured.

  1. Start a tradition together

Five Simple Ways to Lift Your Spirits

The Giving Manger is a fun and interactive Christmas tradition that will help families focus on giving and the true meaning of Christmas. By putting a piece of straw in the manger each time an act of kindness is completed, hearts are encouraged and excited to look for opportunities to give. The tradition is complete when on Christmas Day they place Baby Jesus in a manger full of straw, representing all the service and kindness shown leading up to the day!

Five Simple Ways to Lift Your Spirits

Do the tradition with a friend and share stories of kindness along the way!

 

This year, let’s remember that tears are temporary but memories of giving last forever.

Five Simple Ways to Lift Your SpiritsAllison Hottinger and Lisa Kalberer are sisters who are passionate about giving back. As they began to raise their own families, they realized that the true meaning of Christmas and the spirit of giving was getting lost in the hustle and bustle of the season. They put pen to paper, wood to the saw, and clay in their hands to create the book, manger, and Baby Jesus that make up The Giving Manger–a complete tradition to help families focus on the real meaning of Christmas. They hope that The Giving Manger can spread kindness and promote service as families come together and shift the focus of Christmas from getting to giving. Allison lives in Ladera Ranch, California, and Lisa lives in Austin, Texas.
