Traditionally the time of change is in the Fall: starting a new school year, new lunch boxes, fresh stacks of paper, pencils, back-packs. We smell the crisp Fall leaves in the cooler air. The feeling of lethargy from the sultry summer begins to drop off.
But this Summer, we are experiencing change early.
Our Lead Pastor has officially left Alabama to settle his family at a church plant in Arkansas. We have a new pastor, who is just as amazing as a teacher and preacher. We have had a 90 day worship leader team, who stayed for a year and a half, finally hear from God that it's time for them to move on. We have some students hearing and heeding God's call on their lives to step into ministry leadership.
At home, MTM and I have finally (after 10 years) joined the governing board of the local Tres Dias chapter. We have finally, after home schooling for 12 years, decided to place our children in the hands of the local public school! (This brings me anxiety, but I will trust in God's omnipresence and omnipotence to keep and protect them both.) Also at home, I had reached a weight that was simply unacceptable. So I started a diet plan (hCG) and in the past 6 months, have lost 40 pounds. I'm almost to pre-baby weight from the last kid. Still 60 to go to make me happy.
So, do I like all this change? Not all, but I know I will like it. I will remind myself each day that, "This is the day the Lord has made. I WILL rejoice and be glad in it!"
