Sacred Slice: Tithing Your Time Over Break
Break from the chaos of classes and finals has come again. You may still be busy with work, family, and other engagements, but unless you're a freshman on Thanksgiving Break, you've probably noticed that breaks from college stir up your spiritual life—and not always in a good way.
Learning to steward your time well over any break from school can turn feeling the chaos into feasting on peace. When the world spins faster during the holidays, I've found that setting aside just a tenth of my time—my sacred slice—creates pockets of stillness in the storm. Like setting aside the first fruits of a harvest, I dedicate these moments to what truly matters for eternity and in the here and now. In the rush of parties, shopping, and year-end deadlines, this greater focus on spiritual disciplines becomes my anchor. It's not just about finding quiet—it's about creating space where peace takes root and you find the freedom to grow in Christlike character as you walk in step with the Holy Spirit.
Through this simple idea of time-tithing during the break, I've discovered an unexpected gift: the more I give these moments to Him, the more abundance flows into all the hours of my day.
