The Whirlwind

In the business of moving, get adjusted, working at a new setting, meeting new people, trying to get a feel for everything and the list keeps going i have been reminded of a bunch of things.

1- God is constant. No matter the ups or downs, God exists. Its up to us to make sure he is present in our day to day lives. It has been challenging to have the time to read, think, pray, meditate with everything else that could take up my time. But it is just adjusting your focus so you don't disconnect from Him.

2- Your family needs to know things are ok. It has been up to me to take extra time out for my boys & wife. It could be real easy to get home, put my feet up after a 12 hr work day(including drive time) but i need to show my boys each day they matter to me and my wife. It has been fun being creative how we do this & so far seems to be working.

3- Change is scary & exciting. The new challenges are fun, but they also can be scary. Little changes you make can seem monumental to so many people. It has been good to begin to think long term, but also a little unsettling as well cause you never know how things are going to be. Getting to know a new area of life & ministry really helps me go back to basics.

4- Life is way to fun to get caught up in the less meaningful tasks. We need to enjoy life to the fullest.
