The Two Challenges

Dear Friends in Christ -

Just when we think it couldn't get any busier . . . ring, ring . . . God's on the line! In this season of Resurrection, God doesn't want spring busyness to so overwhelm and distract us that we forget about Him.

The good news is that the things He's asking us to do don't require much time from our schedule, our most precious, only non-renewable personal resource.

What God is calling us to this spring is some intentionality in our living, to keep a bookmark in place in the workbook of daily life.

I talked about these challenges in my sermon today . . . A DOLLAR A DAY -AND- the prayer walk (starting with, now, A PRAYER A DAY for our community [which I wasn't specific about in my sermon, but which you can read more about in the soon-to-be-in-your-mailbox Visitor].

We don't have any control over the times or the seasons. Here in Shelton, Spring is a pretty busy season for most folks - with graduations and weddings and end-of-school celebrations and sports . . . We only have so much control over the convergence of these things.

What we do have COMPLETE control over is whether and how we stay in touch with God in the midst of these things. These two challenges are God's way of throwing us a lifeline in the midst of choppy seas. Grab hold - and you'll be amazed at how grace pulls you through your days in unexpected ways.

Blessings,
Janet+
