For so many of my friends in the South, today marks the first day of school. Whether for those who are professional teachers, or those whose kids are waking to the alarm clock again, or those whose traffic timing changes as the roads fill more quickly - you can feel a change in the air.
Although when it comes to changes in the air - it is still summer outside. It is hot and humid, and doesn't have that "return to school" feel many of us had when we went back to school a little later in the fall. It feels a bit awkward to still be in summer, but back to school. Yet - change is upon us today.
In many ways - August 1 feels like New Year's Day. New schedules, new patterns, a great time for a reboot. What will the rest of 2024 look like for you? "School" in the most traditional sense may not apply to you right now - but what will you learn? How will you grow? We are never too old to too young to experience education, to be stretched to think differently, to gain understanding. Where is your life calling for growth?
James 3:13 says, "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom."
Whatever you consider as you seek wisdom in these days, I hope you might also consider one of our upcoming groups. I can't say enough good things about our community of friends and how supportive our groups are. If you have questions about anything, just let me know.
Are you up to something wonderful that is helping you grow? I'd love to hear about it. Comment below or email me at brandicdiamond@gmail.com. I'm happy to be an encourager to you as we head into the fall.
