So – we’re two weeks in – and if you were at FN this morning you saw a little bit of this:
and some of this:
and don’t forget about this:
I love the picture. So clear. Because it’s so easy for me to forget what I really want out of my life. Not crawling, not hanging on to what seems safe, but something amazing. And amazing is never going to happen with out the risk, the stepping into the unknown, again and again, getting more sure each time.
So – which picture did you most identify with? For me, I think it’s the middle. I’m hesitant to say that because I don’t want to imply that I think I’m ‘past’ the other two, that I’m up and walking. That’s not it at all; it just seems like where I am right now, each step seems new and wobbly, constantly surprising. My husband is suddenly traveling a lot for work. My oldest child is in middle school. There are 3 new people on my team at work, and we are learning to create together… I feel like God is challenging my old assumptions, shaking me up so that I can see things His way, fresh and new. I am afraid of falling off the beam. Sometimes I jerk and flail in surprise, trying to hang on.
What about you?
I really enjoyed Sudnay’s sermon -it did present a clear picture of how hard it is to stay on the right track. I am doing the 60/60 and struggle most days but I am not going to give up. I do not have a running partner which I need so if anyone needs a partner -let me know. I am so glad that Fellowship is doing this experiment-it has the potential to change everyone.
Ginny – so glad you’re joining in – and the message this Sunday is about community, so hopefully lots of people will be looking for running partners after that!
Crystal’s so organized and on top of things that she could handle a 5/5 experiment…alarm every 5 minutes for 5 years.
