The first appointment kicks off at 7:30 a.m., followed by a quick haircut as soon as the shop opens. Today’s my day off from the usual work routine, but it’s fully dedicated to tackling my top personal goals. While I’m mostly in scurry mode, I’ve intentionally carved out some private time for soul-searching.
If you try to reach me and don’t hear back right away, please know I’m okay—just leaning into some quiet reflection and tending to things that matter deeply right now. I want to take a moment to thank those of you who’ve been offering both public and private encouragement. Your kindness is showing up at a truly critical time in my life.
If you’re wondering why scurry mode is necessary, it’s because I’ve sloughed off too many times in the past. I wasted time ignoring the very calling God placed on my life. Lately, I’ve been imagining that moment in Heaven when I finally meet Jesus face to face. I wonder how He might respond when I ask, “Jesus, how did I do with my assignment?”
Let’s just say His answer might echo a Kindergarten report card my mom saved for future inspiration: Michael could do better.
Yikes! How does one even manage to stumble through Kindergarten?
So here I am, kicking myself into gear, making up for lost time. I’m learning how to meet deadlines. I’m following through. I’m challenging myself daily to be the very best version of the man I was created to be.
To those of you enjoying retirement—bravo! That’s a beautiful season. But for me, that’s not the path. Even in scurry mode, I feel there’s barely enough time to finish what I’ve been entrusted with. The heavenly stadium is filling with loved ones who came before me, and I like to think they can see the smoke signals I’m sending up for support.
It’s time to get busy.
Have a great day.
