The last six years or so have felt kinda lost and wild if you know what I mean. No religious form, not much prayer, not much bible reading, not much fellowship (a Christianese word that means hangin’ out together), definitely no church.
Yet something is stirring…
Dry ground is beginning to break open. What I thought was a wasted span was actually a time when Grace was doing its thing; working through my failings, teaching me to serve those put in front of me, showing me that my profession and my vocation are not the same thing.
Today in our house we will read a passage from Jotham’s Journey - a kid’s book that is speaking to this child’s heart. Funny, because as a child I didn’t know there was a pre-Christmas celebration called Advent (which simply means “arrival” or “coming”). Now as an adult I am in full awe of the coming of Jesus into this world, into my heart and my life.
Jesus is a disrupter, His Spirit is present - preparing the way to invade your world. Take some time as you celebrate with tree and lights, paper and bows, carols and candy to prepare your heart for his Advent.
Peace.
