"May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:15
Seasons in life are the times that change you, grow you, and challenge you. And the older you get, the more seasons you end up having to pass through. You start to experience life in a different way that causes you to reach out and trust God, even when it's harder.
Not all seasons produce fear though, some seasons are some of the greatest parts of life. Watching your best friends get married, watching your friends graduate college, watching people step into God's calling for their lives, needless to say there are plenty of seasons in life that produce happiness.
I've been recently presented with seasons that have been the products of fear, sadness, growth, happiness, and acceptance.
This summer has been such a beautiful season for me. I never thought that working at a camp would produce so much happiness in my heart, so much peace in knowing I was EXACTLY where I was supposed to be this summer. I was challenged in my faith, challenged in my work abilities, and challenged in what I felt God was calling me to do. Not just that, but I was blessed to meet some of the best friends that I've ever met in my entire life. I've found a core group of friends that I know will last an eternity. I found out what I was good at, found out what gifts God has equipped with me. Needless to say, it was a beautiful season for me.
But sometimes we have to say good-bye to good seasons. We have to celebrate the goodness of the time that we had in that season and look forward to what God has in the future. Even though it's easier to say than it is to actually do- but that's where faith in God comes into play.
Faith in God. That's what you need in your seasons. Faith.
For all of you that don't know, I was planning on leaving in September to leave on the World Race. God's plans were a little bit different for my life. He called me to stay at home a little bit longer and be apart of life here in Tulsa until January.
It was hard for me to accept the fact that I wasn't leaving when I was feeling called to go… but I had to have faith in this season. To know that God is doing something right here, right now. He's going to show me something that I wouldn't see if I were to leave in September.
I'm ready to see God work. I'm ready to start fully focus on fundraising. I'm ready to see what God is up too.
"Be radical for the Gospel. Stand on the edge with Jesus."
