So I was thinking the other day about all that goes on during the summer. Many times our summers start out fast paced and exciting, but by mid summer things seem to run out of gas. In many ways our spiritual journeys are the same way. When we first find faith we are so aggressive and fast paced, grasping at everything that we can find. However, somewhere down the line we seem to run out of gas. Now there are some who seem to never have this issue, and I wish I could say I was one of them, but I am not. The truth is I have to work at it. My journey has been just that a journey. It has had it’s amazing moments and it’s rough ones too. Yet, somehow I always seem to find myself staring at my faith and seeing just how much God continues to work in me despite my weakness. It’s like the first day of school all over again. I always loved the first day of school, all the excitement, energy and the freshness of a new start. So this summer try to find ways to keep the freshness alive. Look for new ways to explore your faith and enjoy the journey. What an amazing God we have, He keeps giving us the chance to learn about him in new ways.
