It Starts Small

Good Morning Friends!

According to the native Texans, this summer had been unusual. For a small bit of time, the weather got cooler and it was “almost” bearable. It quickly passed and we are in the midst of crazy heat. I have to be honest, I’m not sure Texas is my home, but I am so thankful for God bringing me here.

Our scripture writing plan and journal for September is themed:
In the In-Between: the Journey between normals

When we have truly repented, and turned away from our old flesh and turned toward God and have accepted His will and plan for our lives we can seemingly end up a bit lost. We are giving up what used to be “normal.” We thought and acted on our flesh and now we are learning to think and act a whole new way: God’s Way.

No one told me much about what happen when you repented and I got this idea in my head, a lie, that all things of God were supposed to come naturally. I knew I needed to work at changing, but to be honest I got overwhelmed at where to start and how to keep moving forward without feeling like I was going off the path or moving backwards.

I believe the book of Acts is our focus for the journey between two normals. As we work with the Holy Spirit to change our throughs, perceptions, and behavior, we can draw off of the first church and the disciples to lead us down this path. While we navigate this strange new place we can journey with Paul and the other disciples and let their journey be a guide to our feet.

I can tell you there is going to be a lot of scripture to write, so the free printable journal s going to be long. We will be working through chapters each day. You are always welcome to use your own journaling method. You can download the scripture only graphic and save it to your device to follow along each day.

I look forward to this journey with you. I pray it encourages and challenges us as we keep moving forward from what was to what will be: God’s New Normal!
