This weekend I have taken leave.
Just for one day.
I have to help facilitate a course.
In a language that is not my first. I dream in English. Now I have to speak in my second language.
I hope they understand me.
I hope they can follow.
I hope I will not stumble too much.
Gulp.

A New and Extra Hat
In a few days I will begin a new job. This will be on top of my other activities, responsibilities and ministries. I am looking forward to it, and yet at the same time, am mindful that I have a lot to learn. There will be new people to meet and to work along with. Extra responsibilities in dealing with people and over projects.
A busy time ahead, but there is also a sense of this being Kairos time.
Wikipedia defines :- Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment. The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature.[1]
So this is a moment in time in which something special must happen. And for it to happen, I must step into it.
Similarly, we all have Kairos moments. If God puts a Kairos moment in front of us, we must obey and step into them. Otherwise when the time is past, then the kairos is no more.
Are you at a point of Kairos right now? Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and let Him guide you. He is the Parakletos, the Counselor. Ask wise brethren to pray and seek God with you. Once you receive confirmation (either way) do not be slow to obey. To be told more than once is not being obedient.
