Seasons....

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!
