Well I think the cold weather is pretty much behind us. Finally! I am not a big fan of winter time at all, but I’m a huge fan of summer time. I love everything about summer, swimming, going to theme parks, having grill outs & just being outside, I love it! There seems like there’s a time every year somewhere between February & March where it starts feeling like winter time is never going to end, but every year it does.
Maybe you’ve had seasons like that in your life. You know the one that just doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to end. Maybe it’s like the winter, where it’s kind of a dark & cold season in your life & you’re thinking, “is the thing ever going to end?” Well the good news is that seasons ALWAYS change! Sometimes those seasons of hard times, loneliness, darkness & stress hang around longer than we would like, but rest assured the sun will shine again, that season will change & better days will be ahead.
I love spring time, how every year without fail those plants that were just empty & lifeless looking bloom again & become these beautiful creations to behold. It’s one of those things where I just look around at what God created & say “Wow, God you are amazing!” I’m in awe sometimes when I just stop & look around at God’s creation, it really puts into perspective how powerful God really is. I was driving down the road today just looking around feeling so blessed, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, trees & flowers are blooming all over the place, my windows were down & it just kind of hit me only a few weeks ago, I had the heat on in my car, the trees were bare, it was cloudy & cold everyday, & I said to myself, “thank you Lord that the seasons have changed again.”
As I go through life I’m learning more & more that we go through seasons in our life as well. Many different kinds of seasons too. Maybe it’s a season of blessing, maybe a season of learning, or maybe a season a change, but we all go through different seasons, some are better than others. I’ve went through seasons in my life where it just seemed like everything went right, life was great & I was living high on the mountaintop. Then I’ve been through some very difficult seasons where nothing seem to turn out right, I felt alone & discouraged. I’m sure you can relate to some of these seasons as you have probably experienced them in your life too. What God is teaching me though, is that He uses these different seasons we go through for a purpose in our life to prepare us for His plan for our life. There have been times I’ve went through things that made no sense to me at the time, but now I look back & see God was in control of it all along, He was preparing me for something else, something greater. I’m going through a season of great change in my life right now & as I look back over the last several years & experiences in my life, I see how it was all leading up to what God is doing in my life right now.
Maybe you’ve been through or are going through a difficult season in your life today, but don’t get discouraged because just as spring is now here & summer is quickly following, your season too will change & a new day will come. It may look cold & dark right now, but hang in there it wont last long, God is saying to you, keep your head up because the sun will shine again! Keep looking ahead for better days in your life, they are coming.
