Seasons

Seasons come and seasons go.  

There are things that mark or note new seasons throughout the year, like Thanksgiving noting the onset of fall, and things that mark or note new seasons throughout our life. 

New seasons require a shift.  

We often look ahead with hope to the next season, but when approaching the actual shift we find ourselves unsettled and out of sorts.  

There is a discomfort.  

The old season no longer fits and the new season doesn’t fit yet.  

So we find ourselves in that time of transition, change and adjustment.  

The thing with changes in seasons is that we need to learn to move with the flow.  

There is no point in grieving the old season or fearing the new season.  

There is much value, however, in being thankful for that which has transpired and that which is to transpire.  

We can take the edges of the shift by not inflating the “benefits” of the old season and by not inflating the “challenges or changes” that will occur in the new season.  

A large part of success in the transition is to meet the new season head on, believing with all your heart that what the Lord has for you is good and that you are prepared to take it on. 

As we shift yearly seasons right now, do you find yourself in a season of change in your life?  

Greet it enthusiastically and meet it head on with confidence, being prepared to squeeze from it every experience you can!
