Seasons. Oh, how
they come and go.
I’ve been in the desert. Climbed the hills. Maneuvered the
windy roads.
A season is entering my life right now. I can feel the winds of change blowing stronger and closer than ever.
The winds of change.
Sometimes, I like change. It can be energizing and exciting.
Other times, I dread it. For change means stretching of the soul, and painful
lessons.
I’m not at all sure what this season of change will bring
for me. A little of both, maybe?
But, I’m nervous. I feel like I’m standing on shifting ground and it
unnerves me.
I COULD look at it like I’m being taken to new lands. New adventures. Or, I could look at it with a sense of loss and sadness over leaving something that I’ve grown to love.

The empty nest is knocking louder on my door. It’s so close.
And other things in our lives are shifting as well.
What will the new season of life feel like? Will I embrace
it? Will I have a hard time adjusting?
So many unknowns.
One thing I know, is that I don’t walk alone. My God is a God full of surprises. He
loves me. He roots for me. He has
the best in store for me. (And for those I love.)
So, as I head to answer the knocks growing on my door, I can
do so with courage. I can do so with thankfulness. And I can do so with
confidence, knowing that my God has a gift waiting for me on the other side.
The ground may feel shaky now, but “upon the solid rock I
stand. All other ground is sinking sound.”
I won’t sink. Of that,
I’m sure.
