A Time For Everything

Happy Fall friends! There is something about the colors of those leaves that make my heart happy. I'm not sure why but fall is my favorite time of the year. I love pumpkin coffee, pumpkin sweet treats and I love the way the wind brings a cool calm breeze. Summer is fun and exciting but right around this time a year I'm ready for homemade soup, my sweats, fireplace and cuddles with my kids.

God didn't leave anything that we need to know out of His word and instruction for us. As the seasons change 4 times out of the year it's always easier to see them come and go however I was wondering today why when seasons in our life change we have a harder time adjusting....

I'm not sure why, so you won't get the answer from me but a few thoughts are that we are creatures of habit and when things stay the same we connect them as good. And another thought is season change means we have to change too :-/ and sometimes that's just hard. Getting out of our own comfort is not always the easiest thing for any of us.

Can I share a secret with you? Being single for me has become habit. It's become comfortable. What was once a sad, depressing, I can't wait until I'm married season has now become a seasoned filled with "Lord I love you, and I love my singleness with you."

My short years that I have been in this love relationship with Christ I have learned to ask Him to help me as the seasons change. I've also asked him to give me contentment with Him in all times and seasons no matter what shall come to pass. Finding who we are In Christ and what we should be doing is so important in our relationship with Him. Sometimes we can get so use to just asking Him for things we forget to ask Him what we can be doing to bring glory and honor to Him.

Don't get me wrong, we are saved by grace and not by works. Us working for the kingdom doesn't mean He loves us more it just shows an outward affection of what His love has done inwardly.

So my sweet friends as we enjoy the season of Fall and sip on our pumpkin lattes and burn pumpkin spice candles in our home I hope and pray that we will ask our Father what it is He has for us to do this next season of our life. Maybe for some He is calling you to step up and serve in ministry, maybe He is asking you to home school your children or even start a bible study. Maybe He wants you to begin writing or maybe even just to sit and Be Still.... only you know where the Lord is calling you my prayer is that no matter where it is you will trust and obey finding contentment, peace and joy in the season. Enjoy this next season sweet friends I love you all!
