seasons

i have always heard people talk about 

the highs and lows of the seasons in your life

and honestly i did not understand what it meant

until now

this summer was a hard season and i am happy to welcome fall with open arms

march brought a new job, an additional roommate, and spring training

april, may and june brought birthdays and fun travel for work and pleasure

july brought moving

not just moving to a new place, but moving all my belongings out of our apartment into a storage unit as well as moving into a friends bedroom while sharing a bed and all my belongings with one of my best friends for a month 

{i am not good at sharing a bed - like my personal space}

then moving again

because we could not move into our house until august 1st.

we were homeless for a month

then, work got crazy.

there seemed like there was no consistency

at.all. in any division of my life

i had a breaking point

what put me over the edge was getting a little deodorant on my dress 

& not being able to sew my curtains for our new house

and yes i cried.

it was as if the Lord literally stripped me of everything and brought me to my knees

He needed me to need Him and only Him

i love that about Him.

going through this season was hard

and He was teaching me something

i don't know what it is yet, but i know that it brought me closer to Him

and for that i am thankful

i have learned more than ever that

it is so wonderful that He is in control and not me

so on this day

i can say i am so thankful for seasons fo life

they draw you close and strengthen you for a better tomorrow.

have you ever gone through a hard season?
