Well folks, here we are...in the second week of school, about the time that a routine begins to emerge and at my house when we ask "so what is your schedule today" a few less times. I have shared in the past, that I never feel the passage of time more than when the school year begins. It takes me back to my own first days of school, but now I also have to turn the page in my own head that I am now the parent of two high school students! It just wasn't that long ago that I sent my last child off on her first school bus ride and I cried because she didn't look back at me. She was ready!
The start of the school year also changes the routine at church. We go back to classrooms for Sunday School, attendance at worship goes up, and studies and small groups begin. There is a change that settles over us...picture this, God's finger begins stirring the pot, and there is chaos at first, things bumping into each other, but soon there is an order to the new stirrings. And in that order, there is time and space to hear God say "It is good."
So where in your emerging Fall routines can you hear that voice, where in the order of new routines can you settle and find peace? Give thanks, give thanks, and remember God is calling you...
