The day for what you ask?
The day that I begin a journey.
A journey that is...
long over due, and one that my husband started me on just a few short years ago, one that has the predetermined destination of growing me closer to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
I'm excited, yet leery of making my thoughts and feelings so accessible, yet I feel this is just what I need to begin. I need to learn to reflect and meditate on my life and the path that I am heading in. My true desire is to let go of my past, hurts, burdens and lay them ALL at Jesus' feet. I want Him to lead me, not my own selfish will. In order to do that I need to learn who I am in Christ.
So the journey begins...what lies ahead...only God knows :)
Today, I heard a beautiful song called "Every Season" by: Nichole Nordeman (yes, this is where I got the title for my blog) It made me think. Every change, challenge, pain, frustration, hurt, that comes into our lives is another season. Our lives are constantly altered sometimes for the better and sometimes not. The hope that this song talks about is the hope that Christ brings to our lives. He is there with us through ALL our seasons. We need only to run to Him for comfort and peace.
My Goal in writing this blog is to force myself to ponder my thoughts and feelings. How can I make this positive? Why do I feel this way? What could I have done better? I want to find my self worth in the Lord, not in what the world tells me. I'm on a journey to discover that. I know the road is long with many obstacles to traverse, but I have my Savior who is with me all the way. I hope that my journey might encourage others who may be going through the same season. We are all on a journey...mine is a journey to be the woman that God desires me to be. Right now I'm not there and this may be a journey that last forever, but it's one that I can't miss out on.
What is your journey?
A little while ago my husband started a new routine, everyday we say something we are thankful for. Today, I am thankful for the seasons that my life is going through and those I have been through. I'm thankful that I have a God who carries me through all my seasons and who loves me even though I am undeserving of His love. I thankful for the wonderful man He placed in my life. A man that leads me everyday in His ways, and loves me even when I am unlovable.
What are you thankful for?
"Every Season"
By:Nichole Nordeman
Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children’s games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer
And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come
You are autumn
And everything in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white, all creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you
When branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter
And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season’s change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring
