There are seasons. Seasons in the world, seasons in our lives. Seasons are completely natural. I know this to be true. The problem I'm having lately? Seasons are supposed to change. And I feel like I've been in the same season for years... I feel as though I'm in a season of simply surviving....emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, any other "ally". And I long to be in a season of thriving! Fully living! And, if I'm completely honest, I feel like I'm surviving for others...not even for me. Maybe that's why I don't feel like I'm living...I have trouble seeing how any aspect of my life is simply for me...my growth, my living in God....all I see is that I'm here for everyone else's dependence & use. I'm not complaining, seriously I'm not, I'm just being honest.
We never know when seasons are going to change...we just know they're supposed to. I feel, in so many ways, like I've been in a winter season for years. I'm ready for spring!
"For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth: The time of singing has come. And the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land." -Song of Solmon 2:11-12
I am SO ready for that spring season...for this winter to be gone!
