Awesome day at the beach yesterday! Perhaps a little too much fun since I'm unnaturally pink/red today. It was wonderful to relax and enjoy the early summer weather, though. No regrets!
April is my "bird month" as I've dubbed it. It's in reference to the scripture Matthew 6:26. For me this means no major life decisions or purposeful intent upon a certain direction. (Not that that is what the scripture necessarily is telling us!) It's a time to pray, investigate and information gather about various possibilities. I've had one other "bird month" before in my life - Feb. 2005. I was on furlough from the mission field and my pastor declared it for me. I was in process of determining if the Lord wanted me to return to the mission field. But my pastor said it was time to let that go and just be - for a time. It was a good exercise and took a lot of pressure off of me. There have been temptations to head off in a particular direction but I've determined to wait. I don't want to get caught up in something for the wrong reasons or just out of sheer momentum. Whatever He has will still be waiting for me!
