nomadic.

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?
