This and that....

As I reflected on the school year, I see that many

days did not appear as a full win for home schooling.

But I felt this was the path I was to be on and

He is faithful.  I see wins some tangible

and some just little seeds with much promise.

I have really enjoyed podcasts in this season.

I probably started listening last December. 

It's like everyone's current best nugget of truth

in their life up to that point.  And an

encouragement in the journey of faith.

Sure, there are moments of comparison as

I read about the books they are writing

or the masses they are touching.

But mostly, it is been a great way for

be to be a part of a dialogue of depth

and great thoughts.

 A podcast I enjoy is Annie F. Downs:

One guest spoke on calling.

"Your calling is when your strengths and passions

intersect.  And then you get an assignment and it

is the assignment that changes not your strengths and

passions.  There is not One thing for you to do.

You can ask, What am I supposed to do in this season?

Seasons can be an excuse to bring dreams back

into your life."  

This summer I co-lead "Entrusted" by Beth Moore.

The study was all about calling- and how our

calling is to bring Jesus to the globe using our giftings.

I heard one podcast guest say that

"we affect generations to come and at one

end of that trail we will have had really

great memories with the people

we had gone on adventures with and learned

really hard things with."

She articulated well being in a family.

Another podcast:

"Water the season you are in and not to spend 

time watering a season that is not yours."

How often are we "watering", tending, gazing,

wishing in a season where we are not.

As I have heard myself say, "Stay in your lane."
