3 R’s
Faith like a child... it seems GOD has been doing some extended teaching on what it means to have faith like a child.
These last few months of transition from Florida back to Texas have not exactly been the most detailed of my life! We were certain of the timing to move home... just not certain what we'd be doing once we got here. We've discovered anew what it means to live day by day, dependent on the FATHER for each moment!
It’s been a good thing. Sparse on detail, but good nonetheless—it’s been a time of Refreshing... Renewing... and Realignment.
Refreshing :: we pretty much had a month of doing absolutely nothing. That was good for our bodies! The last dozen years have come at us pretty fast and at a non-stop pace! There have not been any rest stops to speak of along the way. The "forced" time off was good for our family! And though we wrestled with the lack of daily activity, we're now thankful for the breather!
Renewing :: the downtime enabled us to unplug from routine long enough to create some new patterns of thought and activity. This too was good for our whole family! The lack of normal routine left us in a tailspin, but resulted in a healthier lifestyle!
Realignment :: this has come through simple reminders. Though there have been moments of doubt and lots of unanswered questions, FATHER has gently been reassuring us and continues to speak HIS pleasure over our lives and ministry. The one thing that has remained clear is a thorough understanding of who we are in CHRIST and the work HE has given us to do.
I’m thanking GOD this morning for HIS goodness towards me and my family.
How are you doing? Have you slowed down from the busy pace of your life lately to focus some on the 3-R’s?
