Community and Timefulness
Can I just say I love the community I live in? I really am so glad to be here in the Lifelink Community. God has been good to me by bringing me here. I love my friends back in Illinois and Texas, but the Memphis community fits my life right now. In Bethierose's words: It makes me happy!
I have been thinking about a couple of things, but really want to touch only one: the timefulness of God. Have you ever thought about that? I get so wound tightly about not getting stuff done or feeling behind all the time. I always feel this way and I think academia fosters this feeling. I was not wound as tightly I have have become over the years. There have been several times that I have been late and I found out that the timing was perfect. I am beginning to find myself letting go of the need to be "on time" and trying to rest in God's ordering. It is not easy and sometimes it is a white knuckle experience.
Oh to learn to rest and be timely in all things, even seasons of life, rather than "on time" but neurotic.
God amazes me so much! Work this sense of timefulness deep into me God.
