SEASONS IN OUR LIVES...




Many times we ask ourselves, why certain things are transpiring during a specific time in our life. Why people come and go. Why circumstances change so abruptly.

Notice how God is talking about the seasons as a time in your life? That all is appointed a time to unfold? This is such a vital mindset all should look unto when we look at our own "timeframes" in our life. So many times we get a time frame and we hold on to it like it was our last breath. And when it comes and goes, we are filled with disappointment and emotions stir. That is why we should look at the journey of getting to our desired place and not WHEN we will arrive.

As we see with the seasons of nature. We have spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even the seasons do not arrive on time every year! Sometimes we have an early winter or a late summer. Do we sit there and get ticked when summer doesn't start on the exact day of the month? Do we seriously analyze the reasons WHY it did not commence on the day assigned? No. Most of us acknowledge its running late, accept it and forget about it. Why can't we do this in the spiritual sense?

Our life is filled with seasons. Through these seasons we learn and grow. So many times we try to figure out why someone didn't call or when a relationship will get back on track, we miss why the person entered our lives!

With the seasons come the lessons...

Throughout my life and the relationships I have encountered, I have seen the lesson in them all. I do admit I did not see the lesson right away in most of them. It took being pissed off, hurt, depression and down right rebellion at times. But after the emotions soothed and I could see clearly with my inner vision, I saw the lesson. Sometimes it was a lesson I needed to understand about myself, albeit good or bad, I needed to see it. Or our lessons at times are growing pains. God stretching those spiritual muscles to expand us for what is up ahead. Strengthening our foundation so it doesn't crack under pressure.

Whatever the reasons, there is a lesson. Look at why there are delays in certain areas of your life. Look at what Spirit is trying to show you. Many times when we slow down and breathe in the experience we realize this is not what we truly wanted to begin with. It led us down different waters to swim. The obstacles we once thought were there were actually our stepping stones to a greater purpose.

When you look at "your seasons" don't concentrate on the time it will arrive, believe in the purpose for its existence. As the four seasons of nature are here for the planets necessity, so is the seasons in your life.

Wishing you courage to be yourself today, and to make the changes you feel are needed in your life. Instead of making your focus all about someone else, look inside of your own self. Your choices have brought you to today. Remember it's a choice to focus on all that ever went wrong, or all that ever went right! God bless.....Ann :)
