Family Rhythms

Monday, August 25th, 2008 | All, Life

There are certain times in your life when you can tell that a page is being turned in your story.

I’m feeling it and so is the rest of my family.

Our family rhythm is about to completely change.

Starting a new church from scratch is certainly going to change things.  Our Saturday nights are now spoken for as is a change in my schedule to prepare for our gatherings and work on the church.  But that’s not the only change we’re experiencing.

My son is entering his first year of middle school next week. He’s excited about it but he knows that it’s a big unknown. It’s a big step that I remember all too clearly.

My daughter is entering first grade and subsequently, the first time she’s been in school all day.  She is also excited about it- but the pace is much different than her half-day Kindergarten schedule.  The hard part for her- getting up and getting ready in the morning.

Because both of our kids are in school full-time, my wife is starting a new gig as a substitute teacher.  She’s going to do great but it’s a change for her.  She’s primarily been at home with the kids and now is entering into a whole new world.  The good news is she still gets to be home when the kids are and can pick and choose when and where she’ll work.   She’s a bright and talented woman and I’m pumped for her to use her gifts.

If you pray, please pray for my family as we enter into the next chapter of our collective and individual stories.  There are bound to be lots of adjustments- but this season of our lives will stretch and grow us into the people (and family) we need to be.  Through it all I want us to remain tight.  To be the fun-loving family we’ve always been, cheer each other on, and embrace the change in our family rhythm.

I love my family.

Praying for you and the fam. That’s a whole lot of changes all at once. Growing pains are oftentimes tough, but necessary to get where you need to be.
