Keep the Framework, but Adjust the Shape

February 19, 2013 by Tracy

Keep the framework, but adjust the shapeIn reading my devotional on Sunday from JESUS CALLING, I was struck by the following sentences:

Although each day contains twenty-four hours, every single one presents a unique set of circumstances. Don’t try to force-fit today into yesterday’s mold.

As I thought about my days and how I am always rearranging my routines, I realized that I need to keep the framework, but adjust the shape of my days.

Continuing that train of thought, I considered how I plan events. I usually begin with the same framework, but then adjust the activities based on the theme or purpose. The section pieces will remain, but I can rearrange them for a different feel depending on setting, activities, and food involved.

In using time wisely, keep the framework, but adjust the shape to plan successful events. Just because the shape fit a birthday party does not mean it will work for a bridal shower. The mold changes, but the organization can meld with the creative for a successful event. Happy shaping!

Question: How do you keep the framework, but adjust the shape for your events?
