November. My kinda month. Although August to October hasn’t worked out as I’d like, I’m still very much grateful to God for the wonderful blessings that I’ve experienced in that time. I’m in a position now to blog more regularly now and I’m happier for that and it’s just in time for November. Have I mentioned it’s my kinda month?
Before I continue to rave about how much of a month it is for me I really want to say thanks to God for those individuals who over the last few months has made the love of Jesus real in comments, gifts and their real friendship in what at times have been challenging times. It is all well and good saying you love Jesus, it is another thing to confirm the words with actions and I’m grateful to those who did that. Even with the various questions that we’re working through as a family and individually, we know for real it must be centred on being in the place to extend that same love in a communal setting.
That does lead to the fact that it continues to be a critical time in terms of searching. I’ll mention some of the stuff I’m going through over the blogs as time goes by. What that surrounds, though, is about issues of the place of Jesus in the believer’s life, how that affects how to study the Bible, how that has implications for church life and how that shapes all of life. Almost everything remains up for grabs and there are certain positions I would have taken last year that I can no longer adhere to. It’s significant and can come across as traumatic in some places, but I still love Jesus and am only too aware of His love for me. Nothing is more certain of that in my life.
Bringing me back to November being my kind of month. I really want to enjoy this month like never before and I want to enjoy it partially by getting back into the swing of things with this blogging malarkey, so keep it right there as far as that’s concerned. Oh yeah, there is another reason for enjoying the month, which has something to do with my birthday, but we can cover that nearer the time!
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
