So many Changes....

So many changes occur in us though out our walks as Christians, Seasons....
As I was sitting on my back deck the other morning enjoying my coffee and digging into The word my eyes fell upon one of my favorite passages;
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build.
a time to weep and a time laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time love and a time to hate,
a time for war and time for peace.
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burdens God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in His time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathon what God has done from beginning to end.

As my eyes fell upon this scripture my first reaction was surprise,. It was the morning of the arrival of the visit of my Mother and I couldn't understand why God had brought me to a passage that clearly had to with death.
I did not understand.
Only weeks later after mom's visit of I understand the message God wanted me grasp through this passage.
The changes. The changes in me. The changes HE has made in through the seasons He has brought me through in my life. And oh what Stormy season have they been.
My Mother has been a witness to all those seasons as many people have. I as a woman of faith have sailed through a many Stormy sea....offering up prayers as my sails and accepting God's lifesaver thrown to me as He rescued me from many deep and dark places in my life.
I have come to know that those seasons truly have made me stronger.
I have been a Christian for over 11 years and my walk has never been stronger.
My fellowship has never been sweeter and the changes in me in the past year are mighty!!
It may seem funny for a Chrisitan woman of so many years to say but once I really opened that precious word of God and took or what it really was my life changed, my seasons changed and God has moved me. He blesses me everyday showing me new things I haven't seen before and His beauty is so bright as it shines promise into each new morning.
I want to shout it from my roof top and whisper it in the ears of my children as they sleep....GOD IS GOOD AND WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!!
So here and now the season has begun...the season of truth, the season of Blessings and the season of hope.
I will write my blogs in love and truth and share what God his doing in my life and heart.
I will share the joy I have in The Lord and The joy I have from being the help-meet to my husband and mother of children. But most of all I will share how God is moving my life...I hope you will be blessed....
