Changes in the season....changes in me

The fall always has me thinking of changes....and as winter is coming soon I wonder what changes will come with that...What will the rest of this season be like? People always say "oh it's just for a season"...but it is so much more than that...a season as we know it in nature comes and goes and it is tangible..but a change in our life or a "season" can go on for a long time...I tend to think a season is always related to something that is troubling.. I mean, do we ever really say when things are good.. "oh its just for a season?"...I have some things coming up in my life that are going to be "for a season" not necessarily troubling...just different....Changes for the better that require work and prayer ...hard work, soul searching work that I'm a little afraid of..because what will the season bring? Sometimes it brings good things... sometimes it brings changes in you or others... sometimes it can "get worse before it gets better" ...but it's the journey IN the season I'm afraid of..I know the end result will be what it is..Good, either way... because in a journey you always learn something new..but the CHANGES in the journey..well... it is long and tedious and will reveal things I'm not sure I want to face. I know it is necessary..just like the weather changing and the time changing and the day changing...it is out of my control and so I have to give it over and let myself be guided..I think I will at least step into it and let the wind take me where it will..I trust it will be alright because I am being carried by the hand that created me..and so as you think of the "change of season" in your life.. I hope you will step in and be brave too...and let it be one that is worthwhile.. because even as we can surely see the season changing outside... we know there will be an end to it and we will go on.. and we will KNOW the things that were to be given to us for this season...Thanks for stopping by! love ya mean it!
