The change in seasons is where we find hope.
Suddenly, one day we look up and begin to realize that the seasons of life we’ve measured our days by like getting married, buying the house, having the baby, or establishing the career aren’t a measurement at all.
But rather, the deeper reminder of who we’re becoming comes by way of how we’re moving through nature’s seasons.
The progression from winter to spring to summer to fall is God’s way of reminding us that no matter how far off schedule we may feel or how weary from the dark days, there will never cease to be new beauty building within our heart’s to be revealed just around the corner.
There are pivotal moments left to be had and though you may not have the ability to yet recognize it, you are growing stronger with each passing day. You are learning more about who you are and who you’re becoming.
Though the Summer has felt long, Fall will soon make its grand entrance into the world. We will soon begin to notice the vibrancy of the leaves, the crisp in the air, and the gentle shift in the atmosphere.
The seasons are a representation of how we wholeheartedly move through life while holding on tight to hope.
Though we know there will always be storms, and days filled with darkness - the changing seasons bring new life, new hope, new mercies, new reminders that we are always growing, always changing, always becoming more rooted and more comfortable in the unknown.
Our time here on this earth is a gift, meant to be invested, and our ‘life seasons’, well those are not what measures our ability to contribute.
Though each season may not be what you would have chosen for your life, hope will never stop carrying you through.
You are becoming anyway.
Keep growing, keep changing, keep blooming, but more than anything else, stay rooted. You are right where you are supposed to be for this very moment in time.
