It's hard to believe that September is already here and that Fall is just around the corner! This is mine and Beth's favorite season of the year! We love when the leaves start to turn colors and then slowly fall to the ground making the trees bare so we can see the lake behind our house! We begin to spend more time outside on the deck enjoying the cool evening breezes! We look forward to this time all year long!
Just like the four seasons we enjoy each year, our lives often experience a variety of seasons as well! Sometimes we are in a season of Spring; when everything is new and fresh, things are bursting forth and we see growth in alot of areas. Sometimes, we go through a season of Summer; when everything is just right, we're on fire and on the move! Sometimes we go through seasons of Fall, when things begin to change, things seem to be dying and falling off of our lives leaving us feeling empty and wondering what's next. And finally, sometimes we go through that frigid cold season of Winter which leaves us feeling alone, questioning everything and wondering if the sun will ever shine again! All of us go through the seasons of life. It's just what happens. It's what you do while you are IN those seasons that matter! There is a reason you are in it! There is a purpose for it! Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, 'To everything there is a season, a time for every matter or purpose under heaven.' The word season means, 'a time characterized by a particular circumstance, a natural time or occasion.' Don't try to get out of the season you are in too prematurely because there's a reason you are in it. Allow God to do whatever He wants to do in and through you while you are in it! Everything He allows you to experience, good or bad, is to make you better, stronger and more equipped in Him! So hang on! Your next season IS coming!
