Today is the first day of our new "normal" with the kids now back to school. I'm in a new place in life where I am not working. I keep hearing God telling me "Be Still." I have spent so much of my life DOING instead of BEING. God is giving me a chance to be. I hope to take time to read His word, listen to His voice, and learn what He has in store for us. I hope to take time to get to know Tucson, our community and lots of new people. I will stay busy I'm sure! I'm excited to be available to help Luke with whatever he needs and looking forward to being free to be with the kids after school and of course get some long runs in during daylight hours before the heat of the day!
This last weekend we were able to attend the gathering at Second Mile. I am excited to get involved with a body of believers as we adjust to Tucson. I am also blessed to have an invitation to lunch this week from a new friend! God is good! I am looking forward to seeing how He puts together the friendships we so desire in Tucson.
This week I am reminded how quick time goes and how we need to be fruitful with the time we are given. I am hopeful that I will take this time without a "job" to be fruitful in all things. This may only last a season and I don't want to waste the time God has given me. If there is anything I am learning thus far in my journey, it is to live for today. The past is the past and the future is unknown. It is truly freeing to live for today!
"Show me, Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mear handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure." Psalm 39:4-5 NIV
