Every fall I get excited around this time of year ( and no it is not because all the kids go back to school!) Fall is a great time for beginnings. I like it better then January, it's a new school year, a new ministrey year. Bible studies start up, programs resume after a summer break - I love September! I can get out the comfy clothes again - and yes there is something in me that thrives on routine.. so that being said I LOVE SEPTEMBER!
This year will be a bit different. (Oh, for those of you who actually read this and are wondering - I did get into school by the way), so every morning we will all be heading out the door (school bags and all); and every evening after dinner is cleaned up, out will come the homework.
I am sure there will be moments where this will not run smoothly, but that;s ok. I am learning to take it all one moment at a time. We have made it this far and Father God is faithful in all his promises. He is rebuilding and restoring in the lives of the Williams Family.
So, before I close - I am changing my name ( well sort of..)
I have thought about going back to my maiden name ( but then I am different from the kids) and I became a Williams from a Freeman, so changing a name will not take me back 15 years.
But, there is something to be said about living out of a new name. It adds to the "new beginnings" a brand new start. So, I am going to start the transition of going from "Jackie" to "Jacqueline" - which is techinically my real name anyways.
We are new creations in Christ, He has called us by a new name.. and it is up to us to live out of that new identitiy!!
That's all for now.. blessings to each of you as you get your families ready for the new beginnings that fall brings for each of you!
Jacqueline
