Seasons

The Season of the Same



This has been a long, tough winter and it is not over YET.  There is HOPE!  LOL!  Seriously, many of us are battle-weary.  And it is not the loud, warfare type battle.  No, this is more of the "mundane" battle or the "Season of the Same".  It requires great tenacity to get up every single day and do the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.  There are no fireworks!  No loud cheering to the finish line!  No slaps on the back for a job well-done!  Nope.  There is just the sound of the clock ticking----v-e-r-y-----s-l-o-w-l-y in the background, almost lulling us to sleep.  But springtime is coming...Oh yes.  Our Father is ALWAYS faithful!!

Look around you: Winter is over;
    the winter rains are over, gone!
Spring flowers are in blossom all over.
    The whole world’s a choir—and singing!
Song of Solomon 2


If you find yourself in a rut, do not despair.  The "Light" is not just at the end of the tunnel, it engulfs your spirit now.  Lean into the Lord, moment by moment, and let Him fill you with the hope of a new season, nearer than you think!
