There is a time and a season for everything under the sun.

It seems that I never fail to try and take control of my own life but God is so patient and brings me back to Him and reminds me that I am trying to do it with my own strength.

God has been teaching me patience to quietly wait upon Him and His timing, for there is a time for everything under the sun. I often try to get ahead of myself. God faithfully reminded me of Abraham and Sarah and their time of waiting for the long awaited fullfillment of the promise and the birth of Isaac. The incredible faith of Abraham. He waited 99 years until the promise of the birth of a child was fullfilled. Wow, it amazes me and brings things into perspective.

God is good, and will continue to work in and through me, in His timing. It gives me such confidence knowing that God is in control of my life b/c his perspective outweighs my human perspective. Rather his is an above the sun perspective. God is so patient with me and He is so good, all the time!!

School has arrived...

So, had my first day of classes today - so crazy. It's been awhile since I have gone to school. Excited but expecting the novelty to wear off. I thought it would take weeks...no...just one day. Ah, the reading to come. I am taking NT Survey and OT Survey at once. I don't recommend this. I am going to be reading a lot. But it will be a growing experience and I know I will learn tons. I just may be spending a lot of time in my house, reading.

I am also excited that soccer has started again. I am coaching a U9 girls team and it is going good so far. And of course I get to play soccer again too. Good times. I need the exercise.

Inxtreme starts up soon in 1 week. Good times! I am excited for what God has in store for this group and how God is going to challenge us in our walks through the speakers. I am excited to get to know new people and those on the ministry team. Jeff, the new young adults pastor will be arriving in November and I look forward to getting to know him. He is the person that God has called to our church and his passion and gifting fit in so well.

Well, to organize and read I go. The fun never stops. The start of Fall and the start of new things and new schedules.
