Change is in the air!

Today it was HOT! I live in Texas, and that is to be expected; however, we had a few cooler days before this one and I was really enjoying that.

My summer was blessed, full and fun! I made a lot of new friendships and had an event or activity to go to every week. Summer is my favorite season because I enjoy swimming, Popsicles,  ice cream, watermelon, and all the fun activities with friends and family. Even though I had a great time I am ready for the cooler weather, warmer clothing, and enjoying hot drinks. A change of season is nice!

Are you ready for a change in season? Or are you one of many who don't like change? Change can be scary at times, especially when you have no idea what the outcome of a situation is going to be.
As I was scrolling down my facebook feed I came upon this jewel:

"Until the pain of staying the same becomes more acute than the pain of change, nothing happens. We simply maintain status quo. And we convince ourselves that playing it safe is safe. But the greatest risk is taking no risks at all." - Mark Batterson

It is easy to become comfortable where you are at spiritually and naturally. After a while though it can become routine, boring and you can lose the zeal you once had. Your fire is nothing but a tiny flame. But you don't have to worry or fear about the new season. If you are walking in the direction the Lord is leading you then you can rest assured that your Father will take care of you.

¹⁶ 

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all written

The days that were appointed for me,

When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

¹⁷ 

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

¹⁸ 

If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.

When I awake, I am still with You.

Psalm 139:16-18

Look forward to this new season that is coming, for with the new season comes more goodness that the Lord wants to pour out on you.  A change of seasons is good!
