The Beauty Of Seasons

This time in 2018, I had the privilege of leading a group of incredible women on a mission trip to Cape Town, South Africa. For some, this was not only their first time in Africa but their first experience with missions. 

It was scary. It was a faith move. I was overwhelmed and humbled that God would entrust me with such a huge task. However, I knew I needed to be obedient to His leading. As usual, He was faithful, and it is an experience that I will never forget. As my aunt always says “That’s just His reputation.” 

I didn’t realize it then, but this trip would mark the beginning of a significant shift in my life. 

Within a few months of returning, I started dating my now husband, purchased my first home, and got an amazing job offer, which caused me to leave a company I had been with for 15 years! 

Why I’m telling you this? 

Seasons change, friend.

Tomorrow won’t look like today. It might be easy. It might be very difficult. Maybe it’s a season of preparation, waiting, sacrifice, or rest. Whatever it may be, can I encourage you to embrace it? Remember the wisdom found in Ecclesiastes 3:1, which says, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” 

My mission field looks a lot different now. I’ve been in a new state for 3 yrs. By the grace of God, I’m faithfully – not perfectly – serving my home, stewarding the gift of my precious daughter Zion, and daily learning how to be a help-mate to my husband in a God-honoring way. 

I’m excited to be going deeper into this topic next month. Join me live on Instagram starting November 2nd at 8:30PMEST for a new series called “The Beauty of Seasons”. I will be chatting with some amazing ladies in various seasons of life, as they share what God has been teaching them. My prayer is that God will speak to your heart and transform your perspective on whatever season you find yourself in.
