This week we have turned
toward and tuned into Jeremiah’s words.
I intentionally worked backward through the passage as a fresh way to
engage these words.
I wonder, what is
stirring within you?
On Sunday, I asked you to
think about what you wanted to be when you grew up and what we pray our church
might be ~ who do we pray we will become?
By look back at our dreams and desires of the younger versions of
ourselves, this might be one way to listen to our shy souls.
On Monday, I asked you to
ponder where you might want to pluck up or what needs to be pulled down
personally, in your family, in our church, and country. This is work that is never finished. Remember that we are plunged into a story we
did not start…and will be finished by another.
The other is God.
On Tuesday, I asked you
to ponder what fears roam and rummage around your life right now? Do you have a moment when something seemed so
difficult ~ like the worst thing ever, but ended up later to seem less
significant?
On Wednesday, I invited
you to ponder excuses in your life.
Yesterday, I invited you
into the imperfect and infinite moment called, “Today”.
Today, I want you to name
and notice what is stirring within you.
What new insight or idea is starting to germinate or grow? We need moments to step back and survey the
bigger picture. May today offer you a
glimpse of God’s grace guiding and calling and steering you in the art project
of your life. Amen.
