In The Process Of Time

But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
(Philippians 2:22, NIV)

Timothy will give his last high school assignments to his teachers today. Our culture has placed an invisible line between high school and college, signifying the transition from childhood to adulthood. Transitions require managing change. In the process of time . . . twenty-nine years of raising children . . . . . . I have learned that change creates the opportunity to grow.

The Apostle Paul wrote about his co-worker, Timothy. He described Timothy as a son who proved himself in the process of time: But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

Under Paul’s leadership, Timothy chose to change, growing stronger in Christ, revealing character beyond reproach. His personal growth enabled him to lead others, impacting the course of human history. Growth is not a drive through process, it requires desire, discipline, and time. Ultimately, an individual's growth leads to impacting others in the process of time.

Determine the process of time to be an opportunity to change and grow stronger in Christ. Celebrate the impact you will have on the world through your growth.

Learning with you to grow in the process of time,
Kerrie
