Serve, Seek, Connect and Don't Be Afraid...

As we enter in to a new season it is all too easy to get caught up, once again, in the busy thing we call "Life." Summer's easy schedule or maybe non-schedule is gone and back is the daily schedule and calendar that fills up all too fast.  Lately as my own calendar has begun to fill up I have found it both frustrating and amusing that even though I might be busy somehow I feel less connected.  In a world where we are connected all the time, literally at our fingertips, with others, how could I feel less connected?  Well sometimes I think that we forget what it really means to connect with someone.  A few definitions of connect are as follows* to join, link or fasten or to establish communication between.  Even those words can seem to ring a bit hollow for me, except that last part.  Establish communication, this to me is what it means to connect.  All to often I go about my day, connecting to my email, my bank balance, my job, even my family before I remember or even think about connecting to God.  It is kind of like I am saying "Oh, don't worry Lord, I can handle my life,"  ... until I can't.  At least I can't by myself.  I need to connect with God daily, even more than that, my relationship with him works better when he and I are in constant conversation.  I also need to connect with others.  Whether it be friends, family, my husband or maybe a stranger, I find that when I am connected with God, he shows me the places and gives me the time to freely and fully connect with others.  So I will leave you with this; God is never too busy for us so do not be afraid to connect, seek or serve.  
 "Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day." Psalm 25:4-5

Now that Fall is officially around the corner, we here at Harbert Community Church Women's Ministry are also entering many new beginnings.  Take a look around to see what is new and where God might be calling you.  

Summertime, Summertime, Sum Sum Summertime!

As we are in the heat of the summer remember to take some time and enjoy God's creation.  Many of us are so lucky to be apart of it everyday and sometimes we forget how truly amazing it is.  So we encourage you to take some time to just be and relax.  
Looking ahead we have some great events that are coming up:
The Women's Annual Salad Luncheon
Women's Prayer
Momologie
Evening Bible Study
Morning Bible Study
Women's Fall Portage Lake Retreat
and Our Holiday Bazaar

We hope to see you soon!
