seasons change


Here's to new beginnings. I already have quite a few different accounts of my life posted on-line, but maybe this one will serve a more centralized purpose. I've enjoyed using traveljournals.net, but don't care much for the layout and design.
Seasons are changing for me again. Soon many friends will depart, new friends will arrive, and I will be changing roles within this YWAM base where I live. Even the seasons are changing from summer to fall here in New Zealand. It's beautiful.
I feel that I'm wrapped up in dynamic mess of God's artistic creation. Have you ever watched a painting being created? Often you wonder where the artist is going. Especially at the beginning. They'll make a long stroke across the canvas and you're wondering - what do they see in that? What could that dull line actually become? And slowly beauty is revealed. Time and patience unveils an image.
God does that with lives. We often can't see the big picture, but it's being worked out in our lives as a unique expression of God's creativity.
