Summer is fading, those days of sandy toes, wet bathing suits, fruity smoothies, and all that lie within is going with the birds about to migrate south. To some (like the school children) are not so happy about these things fluttering away. However, there is something about the coming fall weather that seems intimate. Something that makes blankets and coffee, movies and food, and some other third thing, really inviting.
It's a change that gets me excited for the holiday seasons, family gatherings, and the different things that fall brings. To me it is a welcome change. Of course I am never satisfied and at some point in this season I will probably be complaining about how chilly it's getting.
Nevertheless, this season has always brought about a more focused side of me. Hopefully it will bring about something different from this fleeting summer. This summer has been helpful in many ways, but I do feel that there is something new or at least something bigger that needs to happen or that will happen. I know that my focus this fall needs to be emphasized on support raising, not on some job I'm holding.
Ironically money-making is a distracting factor in support raising, and a distracting factor in purpose. This fall season I pledge to make my purpose more apparent even within myself. I wish to make this seasonal change a change within my focus...my focus on the temporary to the immovable, unshakable commission and how I play a role in that with the passion I find in my heart for global ministry.
So in this season of change I implore you, to be a part of this ministry. Pray, give, send words of encouragement, tell your church about this, be in this part of life with me and be an essential part of life as we know it here on earth for the Kingdom.
Bring on the season of change.
All to God.
