So, I kinda have been having writer’s blog block the last couple weeks, evidenced by my lack of blogging activity. Which I don’t like – because blogs need to be updated all the time – or what is the point? So really, I start this blog not even sure where I am heading with it. But that’s ok. I’ll get inspired as I go along!
I have lots of things running through my mind. I was thinking about the Boyz Bash this past weekend – and how great it was to bring all those boys and their budz together – mostly dads and grandpas. It was so fun to look out over the field at Eaglesfield and see them all working together. And I loved hearing the squeals as the reptile man would pull out one slimy creature after another! (I was WAYYYY in the back for that)
Then I started to think that I have almost been here for a year at CP. And I thought about how much I love this church body, the people that I work with (they rock my world), and the amazing children and families and leaders that I get to serve. I am so blessed. God has been good to me, to all of us this past year. I love to look back and see how my paths has been directed and how I am RIGHT where he wants me to be.
Then I think about the summer. And the Summer Slam programs we are putting in place – and the great opportunties that we have to spread the word of Jesus. That makes me happy! That is exciting to me! That is what we were all created to do – share the love of Jesus. And I am thankful for the freedom and the ability we have to do that.
In the midst of all that – is my own life. My family. My friends. My dreams. God’s purpose for my life. I guess when you put all those things together it can seem like a whole lot of thoughts, and a whole lots of gears in a wheel. And it is. And sometime it overwhelms. And sometimes, I lose sight of the core reason why I do what I do. Why we do what we do. Why we are here. Then I call out to Jesus. And I ask him to continually be a presence in my life that guides and directs me in each step. I pray that I never lose sight of his plan and purpose and that I never stop hearing his still small voice. It’s kinda of become the phrase that has guided me this year. Jesus – it’s all about him. If he is not in it, I don’t want to do it.
So those are my thoughts. They don’t really connect. But sometimes that is ok!!
Have a super blessed day!
