Seasonal Changes

Well, based on the date of my last post we can all see that some time has passed.  Let's just say that the past 3-4 months were not my favorite time of the year. However, isn't it amazing in what we learn through each trial? We grow within ourselves.  The hurdles that we have to jump over outline how far we can go until we reach our limits.  They show us that no matter what comes our way we can be strong individuals/women and fight against the storm!

As I was talking to a new friend that has come my way, she started explaining that these hard times are almost like seasons.  She kept referring to her life as, "in this season," "in that season", etc... It really made me start to think...we really do have seasons in our lives.  This was a great way to look at things. It brought more light at the end of my tunnel. 

If you look at the calendar year, there are 4 distinct seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.  As I started to think about the calendar seasons and our own personal seasons, I came to the conclusion that some seasons may be longer than others or shorter than others.  They may be in conjunction with the calendar seasons or they can be set in their own timing.  For myself: October-Jan Wk 2 was it's own season, one in which I am glad is now over. I am currently entering a new season.  I just recently had some major changes with work and my faith and am solely relying on the grace of God to get me through right now.  With that said...

It's so refreshing to know that with the end of one season comes the beginning of another new season.  Allowing us to leave the hardships aside and focus on the greater things that are to come. 

So, if you're starting to feel confused or you are going through a hard time right now... just look at it as another season and, "This too shall pass."  There really is light at the end of the tunnel and in due time... things will get better. For now, have faith and know that THE BEST IS YET TO COME! 

Glad to be back into writing...

For now...

Take care, Love Blair
