You won’t get this season back.

This time. These people. These opportunities.

This stretch of life—right here, right now—is passing. The calendar won’t hit pause. The leaves will fall and the temperature will drop. But what will rise in you during this season?

This is your chance. Your chance to open your heart to Jesus in a new way. Your chance to learn—not to earn credit, but to be changed. Your chance to read Pause with Jesus and really pause with Him.

Not rush through the stories. Not check off the reading list. But enter the pages. Be with Him in the dust and the crowds and the quiet places. Let the Word read you while you read the Word.

This is your chance to let spiritual formation actually form you. Don’t miss this moment. 

Fall in northeast Georgia brings the changing colors of leaves, cool breezes through campus walkways, bonfires, football games, and homecoming plans.

But beneath those visible shifts, God’s Spirit is moving too.

This is your chance to shift with Him. To change—not in outward decorations, but in inward devotion.

To invest in practices that shape your soul:

·         Sit in silence and just be still.

·         Reflect on one phrase from the words of Jesus until it sinks deeper.

·         Journal your real questions—not just the ones you think you’re supposed to have.

·         Pray like someone is actually listening—because He is!

This is your chance to let this fall be the one you remember, a different kind of autumn. Not just for the music or the moments or the midterms.

But for the way something shifted inside you.

The way Jesus became more than a subject to study. The way spiritual formation became more than a class. The way you started to feel like you weren’t just surviving school—you were becoming someone new.

Today matters. You’ll never have this exact day again. You’ll never walk this exact path again with these exact people.

Let’s not live with missed opportunities. Let’s make memories—spiritually significant ones. 

Let’s choose to pause with Jesus. 

To notice His presence. 

To listen closely. 

To be honest. 

To be changed.

So, go ahead. Take your chance. 

Open the book. 

Open your heart. 

Walk through the woods with wonder. 

Sit in the stillness with expectation. 

Pray like this moment is sacred—because it is!

This is your chance.

Don’t miss it.
