One of the reality checks that really can mess with your head when you get into a missions situation is time management. Many times you don't have an office to go to with a team/staff around you. That means that your day looks a bit different.

You may be standing in line to pay the light bill at 10:00, meeting a local pastor for lunch at 12:00, working on a bible study/sermon/teaching guide at 2:00, and picking up the kids from school at 4:00.

Where did that day go?????

Well, when that reality check hits you, be ready with a plan. Do some thinking ahead on your schedule. Make sure that your time matches up with your goals and objectives. Also, make sure you have an accountability partner that is holding you to the goals you have set.

With so much to do for the Kingdom, lets not let this reality check overwhelm us.
