In between times.

I’ve always disliked the “in between”. As I write this article it is around 0 degrees and as I look at the forecast it’s going to jump up into the 40s in a couple of days. Which is it? Winter or Spring?

In life, we have one child in college, one in high school, and another in middle school. Our kids are becoming more and more independent and yet they certainly need our support, and of course rides. Our family is not the “young family” anymore, but we’re definitely not empty nesters either. What are we?

Spirituality can have “in between” seasons too. It’s probably easy to identify times when you’re on a spiritual high, when you’re really into a Bible study or small group or your prayer and worship feel deep and fulfilling. And then there are those “desert” times when you feel spiritually dry, when you know you’ve drifted away and when you’re frustrated with God or your faith. You know what you need in those times, even if you don’t feel like it. But what about the “in between” seasons of spirituality: when you go to church…some. When you read your Bible…some. Pray…some. And it feels…ok. What do you need in those times?

The encouragement of Christian brothers and sisters, and putting yourself out there to be a little more vulnerable, that’s how I would answer. Maybe you’ve thought about joining a discipleship group, but you’ve come up with a bunch of reasons not to. Groups are meeting right now and we’ll be starting new ones again in April. Start praying on it now. We’ll have mixed groups and men’s and women’s groups. Something for everyone!

The Women at the Well are gearing up to increase opportunities for women to connect. We’re going to add some new things for families with kids. Celebrate Recovery meets every Monday. Faithful Conversations is still digging into hard social topics from a Christian perspective twice a month. What’s missing? Your openness and willingness to put yourself out there and move off the middle, out of the “in between”. If there’s something I mentioned that got you wondering…reach out!

People always say, “oh, I don’t want to take up a pastor’s time…”, but we love it when you call and schedule a visit! Those visits are the best parts of our days. Time with our people, encouraging you in your walk. Believe me, it encourages me too! —Pastor Dan
