Power of Consistency

Writing about today's introspection has been the most challenging yet. I have put off addressing this inner conflict for several days.

Today we are starting an intensive two-week project in our church that I pioneered, along with three dear friends (one of whom passed away last year). It is our 16th year of organizing Wave educational programs in our church. As hard as it is to admit, I feel tired.

Over the years, it became easier and easier to organize educational programs. Once the good preparation is done beforehand, it gets easier to go with the flow. However, for pioneers, it gets harder and harder to repeat the same tasks. I already know how everything will look each day; there is nothing new under the sun.

Today, I have the urge to delve into the book of Ecclesiastes, resonating with the author's cynicism. I find myself pondering whether it's time for a change and contemplating how to transition from the old to the new with grace. This has been my prayer to the Holy Spirit for months. The response I received was a piece of wisdom from Proverbs 3:3, advising to always hold onto love and faithfulness, keeping them close to my heart.

So, today, as I am about to give another opening introduction to the 16th year of Wave Intensive, I am faithfully showing up to serve with the love of Christ. 

Are you feeling fatigued? Which fruit is cultivated within you as you consistently fulfill your everyday duties?

"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." - Proverbs 3:3 (NIV)
