Greetings!

We are officially moving into the winter months…at least that’s what it feels like. In many parts of the country, they are already seeing snow. The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting colder. It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas…

I love, love, love, the Christmas season. I even love the tired and frustrated cashiers…because, I know that at the end of the day…they are trying to get it done just like everybody else. As followers of Christ, we have to be able to re-present Him wherever we go…even when we are standing in long lines!

In my last post, I spoke about what it felt like for me to feel like I was letting God down. That has been on my mind a lot lately. My prayer is that I remain available to God. That He can call on me at any time, and that I will respond. I am not so sure, that is always the case, but I am trying.

I had a conversation with one of my sisters recently about being, “out of the box.” Meaning…God has been calling us to do things that are so far out of our comfort zone that we no longer have a comfort zone. That is both comforting and disturbing at the same time. Comforting, because I know God is always with me, guiding me and protecting me. Showing me things about myself that still amaze me, and disturbing because I no longer know what being comfortable feels like.

In Acts 20:24 the Apostle Paul said, "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.” That is my goal...to glorify my Father, and to run my race--no matter what.

Until next time...

Be blessed
