August 2008

August has arrived. The last hot month of summer in most of the United States is here. I always loved August when I was a little girl. My favorite number was eight, and it also had my favorite childhood holiday: my birthday! I didn't know then that another birthday means another year older! ha. A red-checkered picnic blanket, watermelon and lemonade -ahhh... precious summer memories!

August is no different to me now. I still love it. I love the Morning Glories that wind their way up the windmill frame above our well. I love the warm days and cooler nights, and sleeping with the windows open. I love the harvest of the garden and watching our children run around in a warm afternoon rain. Time goes on and things may change, but some old favorites will always be the same.

Time is a theme you will see in several of the articles this month. God blessed us this month as we felt the importance of time in a Believer's life. It is something that is so important as young women and moms to use wisely as unto the Lord. Another recurrent theme you will read about is soul-winning. The awesome thing is that we can spur each other on in the wise and fruitful use of our time as we learn to do this together! As we do, God will use us in great and mighty ways for His Kingdom and His People.

I pray you will take time to soak in all of the goodness in this month's articles. May God bless you as you read with us, and we all learn to walk in His time, spreading His Good News, together!
