Seasons.

There are different seasons I've experienced.... some easier than others.
This isn't just your typical season I'm speaking of... you know Spring, summer, fall, winter.
Nope. It's got nothing to do with those seasons.
And it's not your average salt and pepper seasoning either.
There are various times and circumstances that happen in your life. Some situations or 'seasons' are easier to bear than others....
The past couple of months have certainly been a difficult yet refreshing kind of season. It's been coming back to the basics and starting new... starting FRESH.
A different kind of season than I've ever experienced and I have to say that even though it hasn't been very easy, I'm thankful. I'm thankful that I am where I am today.
I couldn't have gotten from point A to point B without His love and His grace...
You see, the Lord makes everything beautiful in His Time (Ecclesiastes 3:11)... and "He changes the times and seasons..." (Daniel 2:21).
Everything that used to be just isn't anymore especially when it comes to friendships and relationships in my life... and I'm thankful. Why? 'Cause it's opened my eyes and heart to different opportunities and friendships that I never would have been ready to accept before.
My heart is His. I'm letting go of everything that was and I'm ready to experience so much more. I'm ready to be refined in His fire.... I'm ready to do his will.
Is this next season that's coming exciting? Yeah, it is. I can feel it... but it freaks me out at the same time too. I'm trusting, not knowing where He is going to really lead me... but I know it'll be exactly where he wants me to do.
I've been fighting it so long. I've been fighting for what I WANTED or thought I WANTED... how wrong was I? SO WRONG. And I've been unwilling to let go of the things that meant the world to me....
And slowly but surely, He took the things that were 'comfortable' away and I'm finding more comfort in Him. In His words and promises... Finally, I get it now... this is what He wanted from me all along.
So if you ask me, what does this season entail?
I HAVE NO IDEA... but I'm ready. I'm ready.

Strange reality.

I find myself in a strange place right now. Being in the ER yesterday was a reality check. A reality check of the emotional and physical toll things have been taking on me. Yet, God is still good. God is still there even when it feels like you're alone... you're really not. Hand by hand he took me through, assurred me that things would be alright. And, they were. Yet, I find myself in a strange place right now. The things I knew of... the people I would have wished for just weren't there at that time... My cellphone was dead... all technology I could use to communicate with was dead.... It was a reality check of my life and that no matter what comes and goes, God will remain standing firm. He will remain standing firm when the whole world seems like it's shaking. It was a strange, yet calming reality.

Toy Story.

"So this is how it's going to be after all we've been through?" - Toy Story 3.
It makes me imagine what my toys would've thought. And makes me remember to always stick together & never give up.
Toy Story 3 was a classic. Loved it and so did the kiddos!

Tonight it's time to search the depths and craters. It's time. It's time.
