It's Middletime {...time for a #middleaudit...}
This past week has marked the middle week of the middle month of June.
It’s the middliest time of the year, and I always write about that.
I love the way writer Ann Voskamp (and others) calls June “the second January”. You won’t get any argument from me.
The middle is naturally a season of audit…evaluation…appraisal…a good time for a healthy review. How’s your 2023 going, so far?
As for me, I am experiencing a beautiful “rewilding”. The Holy Spirit is taking me back to heaven’s “factory settings”, clearing away years of accumulated heartache, questions, and latent cynicism masquerading as wisdom.
A controlled, churchy experience with the name of Jesus on it like a carefully applied decal will not do it for me. It didn’t do it for me early on in my walk with Jesus, and it doesn’t now. No flash of systematic flesh can compete with the fire that supernaturally emboldens the soul. Dead religion can’t contain original, native faith.
I see many with their mind made up: “There is no certainty,” they say.
I disagree. God has made me a “certain woman”.*
