I like gardening, I’m just not very good at it. The reason? I don’t have a plan.

Gardeners are in their season right now. They have planned, ordered, tilled and got everything ready to reap a summer harvest.

The planting model is a good one for us to follow in good planning for Youth Ministry. I have always used Spring Break as the trigger for drilling down on my plans for the remainder of the spring and for summer.

As a procrastinator I need these reminders to give me a check on my progress. I have several checkpoints throughout the year that at least let me know how far behind I am.

With a little accountability, I’m able to push through these triggers and get things on track.

So, enjoy your Spring Break but when your break is over dig in and get it done.
