Greetings!

Today, it feels like spring is definitely on its way. We have struggled through another season of winter, and I can finally feel that newness in the air…like life about to burst forth. It’s like that in life too. We go through these seasons of change periodically. It helps us to move forward in faith knowing that downs will come up, sadness will become joy, and trials will become triumphs.  If we didn’t go through all of those seasons…there would be no growth. Believe me…I know trials are not pleasant.  But, they are necessary. God uses all of those trials to show us that depending on Him will always lead us to victory.

I have noticed that in my own life the seasons are not lasting as long as they used to. I believe that I have learned to expect the seasons of life, because I know a new beginning is on the way. And with that new beginning will come a deeper level of faith in the God who never fails. Knowing that makes it so much easier to let go. I know that what God has for me is so much better than anything I could ever come up with.

So, now I listen for His voice, because He is always near…and He always has the answer. I don’t have to waste time trying to figure things out on my own. I don’t need to know the why of things…I just need to know who. The Bible says, “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore (Psalm 125:1-2).This says that if I put my trust fully in God…He will cover me.

I pray that if you are going through a season of change, that you will keep your hand in the hand of the One who knows you better than you know yourself. There is a gift in your trial…one that you may not be able to see, but know that it is there. God is working it all out for your good. Trust Him. Our Father is a loving, caring, and faithful God, and He loves you. Period.

Until next time…

Be blessed!
