FAITHOUGHTS Fresh Start Sarah Cutcliffe January always gets the glory when it comes to new beginnings and resolutions. For me though, September is the true fresh start. Although I haven’t been a student in several years (thank goodness) this time of year brings about feelings of new chapters. I always loved the anticipation and hope of a coming school year. A clean crisp planner, empty notebooks and new teachers made it seem that anything was possible. I could be the best version of myself I had ever been. In my youth I tried to be better in all areas of my life but as many of you have experienced that can cause some serious burn-out. By October I was back to my usual habits as a student and my grand plans had been dashed. However, by grad school I realized that if I picked just one thing to improve I could usually stick to it. For example, one year I decided to write down the due date of all my assignments as soon as I knew. I know it’s not revolutionary but man, it really helped me time manage! I was able to stick with it and it is now a habit I use every day. Even though I am not in school anymore I am still inclined to pick one way to improve in September. This year I have chosen to find meaningful ways to participate at Faith. I am committed to bringing Ole to Sunday school this year and I am now on the roster for writing for Faith Thoughts. Although I certainly can’t do all the things (no matter how I try) I can be strategic and find ways to participate without overcommitting. It’s important to me to participate in order to demonstrate my love and commitment to God and to all of you. Perhaps this is also a time for you to reflect on how you want to participate this year at Faith. Maybe this is the year you join choir or you start to attend adult bible study. You can join a committee or parenting group. There are so many ways for you to experience Faith and you can find what works with your life. Our church and our larger community will be better with more of you. Sarah Cutcliffe is a member of Faith. In her daily ministry she develops medical records systems at the University of Chicago.
