My Time in Between

I read a very nice article from one of my daily dose of egroups mail, short articles by Ron Hutchcraft’s (I think he is a Pastor). He happily recalled, how (as a kid who would travel with his dad on business trips) actually found those two to five-hour flights exciting.

“ For me, that time in between my two important places isn't just headphones, movies, plastic lunches, or reading about life jackets. In fact, there's no phone calls, no interruptions. It's some of my best time to write, create, prepare.” - Ron Hutchcraft

During my first few business trips, I dreaded the time I spent at the airport and also at the plane. Since it was a “business trip”, I always saw to it whatever I did at the airport was work-related (i.e., browsing over my notes, looking at my spreadsheets). Its like penalizing and overwhelming myself over the day’s and week’s load of work and meetings at Bangkok.

Now, I have taken a fresher way to spend my time, not just doing work stuff, but also writing my thoughts, reading a good book, looking at soft copies of pictures and taking time to text my love ones.

Lastly, I'd like to share how Ron Hutchcraft related this time in between to life itself.

“ "Maybe you're in one of life's "in between" times right now, sort of
cruising until the next main event. You're between jobs, waiting to get into college or back into college, maybe you're in retirement and waiting for something to happen. You're single, sort of killing time until Mr. or Miss Right comes along, waiting for God's will to clarify or for some door to open. Maybe your health or your finances have you "in between" right now. It could be that you feel like you're in between two important things so you're just meeting the minimums."

“ "God is trying to say, "Where you are right now is important!" He wants you to give 100% to this assignment from Him. And in the course of capturing where you are, God will show you where He wants you to be in the future."
