As i look into the eyes of a new year i find myself filled with excitement and anticipation. In shaping time and space the energies of the old year are almost used up and i am looking forward to new energy for the adventure and projects of the new year in time and space. Looking through the pages of God's conversation to us He says, "We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise." (The Message) This is where i want to find myself come January, shaping time and space in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory. How am i going to mold and shape space in my life this way? How am i going to change my lifestyle so as to live in these wide open spaces. Later on it says that "we cant round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit."
Shaping time with God's love in mind, shaping time with relevance in mind, shaping time with the needs of others in mind, shaping time with forethought and destinations in mind, shaping time in mind. Shaping space with simplicity, shaping space with thought of how my space impacts my world, shaping space with how i fill the space impacts the relevance i have in this world. Looking at how this shaping is to be lived in the atmosphere of the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory.
In looking into the swirling mists of the new year i see the potential and the opportunity of how my space and time can make a difference and cause clarity in the lives of those around me. I can see how my shaping time and space will affect my immediate culture and the dreams of those i bounce off and impact. The shape affects my dreams, direction, destination on the journey through the new year. I am looking forward to starting the new year with a new determination to take hold of my dreams on the journey.
As i work through these processes of planning shape i have to keep in mind that i am working in these open spaces of God's grace and glory.
