This is halfway. The crossover season. Or (half way) it was when I started this sentence around a month ago. Now we are around 5ish weeks from the end. Which completely ruined my clever half marathon analogy that I still chose to include it as the title. 

 

But this is my season. Somewhere about to start the month of May. 4 months into living in Gainesville, Georgia. 

Realizing that this season was always meant to be the place where what I know and who I am meet. 

 

 

 

This analogy has been floating around in my head as I try to encapsulate what CGA is and has been these past few months. A time where all the truth and knowledge and past lessons and experience has come up and is meeting, then crossing over, into the space of who I am and who I want to be. This has created a space of heaven inside of me – which sounds a little dramatic I know. BUT that’s how I feel!!! Like the fullness of myself for now in life is finally settling.

 

 

This strangely kind of up in the clouds picture makes the most sense when I try to explain what all has changed and has been. Newness, but more than that, this season has been the redeemed being fashioned into new; instead of the old being tossed away. I got to come into this program and see all the parts and pieces of myself and things i’ve experienced be fashioned into a more usable tool. Into perhaps and instrument which now can collectively function to bring more worth & worship to the Lord. 

 

I have worked two separate jobs in my short time here! Both with ups and downs and both have been vessels to meet really amazing & interesting people. I am still living in a cabin in the woods, yes, with 15 other women. I am still somehow finding freezing bodies of water to jump in. And yes, I am somehow obsessed with another 3 year old. (there seems to be one in every season of my life and I love it so much) 

 

In the effort to actually do a better job communicating. I have decided based on engagement on here and my not awesome job of posting, that I want to build some structure around communicating. This season has been the best yet. I’m not kidding when I say this is the life I have always dreamed of living. Building kingdom. Building church. Building disciples. Becoming more of one myself. 

 

On that note, I want to offer up time slots of sorts to have 30-60 minute calls to share more of my time here with you guys – my supporters!
