Life Seasons: Finding a New Rhythm
Seasons…while my year has very few of them since making the move to FL five years ago, the ever-changing seasons of life never cease.
We all have them. Periods of time when something shifts and our usual way of doing and being. Of thinking and operating just no longer seems to fit. When a baby is born. When that baby stops napping! When a job is lost. When a relationship takes flight. When there are no opportunities in sight, and when there are so many you can’t seem to choose.
It is in these times I want to encourage you to remember Isaiah 26:3, “You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.”
Where have I been?
I’m sorry for dropping off the map for a while as far as this blog is concerned. We have been in a busier than usual life season, and I’m working to find my new normal.
We are all well, though things have been intense, including a home renovation project, the loss of our 12 year old dog, Brandon, who was our “first born,” a very busy stretch of Tim’s work, a new opportunity for me to begin leading a weekly women’s study, as well as a few other roles the Lord has brought my way and oh yeah…a hurricane! 🙂
I’m working to find a new rhythm with life and the blog. I also hope to have my newest project, “The Intertwined Life Podcast” up and running this fall!
Don’t Drop the Eggs!
Because above all else, I don’t want the peace in our home, the emotional security of my kids, and the strength of mine and Tim’s relationship to fall through the cracks I have been stepping back in some other areas.
Don’t be afraid to do that when necessary. If you have your arms full of groceries, and you are about to drop the eggs, you will put down some of the other items and readjust before picking them back up again. I encourage you to regularly evaluate things in your life. See if you need to put something down, at least for a season, in order to ensure the most delicate items remain intact.
