the Rest Fall Brings
As I posted in my personal space, fall tends to be a time of reflection. It's a harvest time, true enough, but also a time to take stock or inventory some things. Decide what needs to change and what can continue with you.
It is a time to realign your faith, your perspectives; in preparation for whatever lies ahead. Be it winter or night or eternal sleep... The point is. It is a time to unburden yourself and discover what is really of value and what is perhaps not so.
Considering this I am again brought back to the story of Cale and Joshua. These two young men at the time remembered/ relied on their faith in their youth. And as they got older their faith still remained the core of who they were.
This is especially relevant to me (of Caleb) having celebrated an anniversary of life recently (me not Caleb of course). Taking stock of what's important to me. Taking a moment, a day, to breathe and inventory some things. But then to revitalize and reignite the flame that drives me. Like Caleb, I'm fired up and ready to go! Thanks Obama!
I'm ready to push forward onto the new things coming down the line and taking over and on some things in the pursuit of Good's life and living.
It truly has been a blessing to make it to this point but after a brief rest. I'm Fired Up and Ready to Go! Ready for the halftime celebrations to end so I can proceed to win the game!
At any rate, here is brief reflection of Caleb's story, from Joshua 14:6–15,
’ 10 And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, just as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old. 11 I am still as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming. 12 So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.”
If you need more fuel for your journey I suggest taking along some bread. The "Bread for Adversity", available everywhere books and media are sold. Grab your copy today! and be on the lookout for the audio version coming soon from Amazon Audible.
