So much has happened in the last few months. Where do I begin?
First, let me say I’m extremely thankful that there are people who actually still read what I write here.
Second, there have been huge changes in my life as of late. I started a new job (which I love, and am actually good at). My family joined a large church, participated in a local (to us) campus launch, and a year later, we ended up moving to a smaller, less hectic church environment. I’m slowly working on minimizing more things out of my life. I’m focusing on developing my relationship with God, and learning more about the Holy Spirit’s role in my life.
I’m playing music a lot. I’m working on cars a lot less. Remodeling the house. Teaching my kids. Serving my wife, and the church. Trying to keep a grip on everything.
I’m also still (after a long hiatus) co-hosting the awesome ADD Masterminds podcast.
But…
There’s more to do than I can keep track of, so I’ve let a lot of things go. Blogging. Exercise. Writing. Working on computer projects. Side businesses. Website development. And more.
This morning, as I woke up early before my alarm (about 5:00AM) I heard God tell me “You don’t need to be in a hurry.” And as always, He’s right.
I don’t need to rush everywhere. I’m not a victim of FOMO. I don’t need to be a slave to my smartphone.
So I drove the slow way to work. At the speed limit. And I thought, and prayed, like I usually do when I get time to myself, which is rare.
I don’t have to run. I don’t have to keep up a frenetic pace of excellence. I just need to focus right in front of me, on what God’s showing me. Right here, right now. Nothing less, nothing more.
You can expect to see more writing here in the near future, but I won’t be a slave to deadlines for a while. It will be sporadic, but hopefully I’ll be able to share some of the things I’ve learned in this hectic season.
In Christ,
Jeff
