Since the last post lots has happened...Jacob and I took a break from life and had a small staycation, we had the junior highers over for our annual Crud War, the highschool kids came over for a Paint War in the woods behind our house, we went on a mini-vacation with my whole family to Sea World, floated the river, and celebrated my mom, aunt, and uncle's bdays, I started school again this week, and my baby sister is leaving for college tomorrow. Life happens so fast! It all comes and goes so quickly. Another summer has passed, I've started on my 3rd year of teaching, one sister has married and moved off, another is moving off to college, summer vacations have come and gone full of memories, but without enough rest, youth activities are changing pace now that school is starting back up, and I find myself wondering where all the time goes. In the midst of all the change I hold tight to my constant...Jesus Christ.
Life will change, people will leave, chapters will close, seasons will come and go, but the beauty of it is that new people will come into our lives, new opportunities will present themselves, new relationships will evolve, new experiences will transform our lives, and new memories will be made. How thankful I am that the Creator of the Universe, the Savior of the world, the King above all kings is my Friend, my Father, my Healer, my Comforter, my Provider, my Teacher, and the Overseer of my very soul...1 Peter 2:24-25 - "He Himself bore [my sin] in His body on the tree, so that [I] may die to sin and live for righteousness; by His wounds [I] have been healed. For [I was like a] sheep gone astray, but now [I] have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of [my soul]."
I give this next season to Him and thank Him for yet another day to live for Him. What a blessing to live to serve my King!! What a blessing that every season is in the very hands of God and I have no need to fear!! What a blessing that He has gone before me and walks beside me!!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; 7:14 -"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven...He has mad everything beautiful in its time. When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future."
