A New Season

Yesterday was a beautiful day!

In life, we often go through different "seasons". Some are happy, some are sad, some are trying, some are confusing...you get the picture. Lots of changes tend to bring on a new season, and that's exactly where I feel like I'm at right now. We'll call this season "Transition".

Truthfully, I struggle to be completely okay with the new season I find myself in. Some days I'm really able to embrace it and it excites me, and other days, the fear of it all just seems to overwhelm me.

Yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work, I began wrestling through all the changes that are happening right now (moving out of my apartment, thinking ahead on all kinds of financial questions & insurance "stuff", focusing on stuff at work while trying to make sure I train others in the things I'm doing, & tons of other stuff). Yet in the midst of all of this, God has been so patient with me. In the times where I'm struggling to "let go" of stuff and hold on to Him, He's still there waiting for me.

So as I was getting ready and thinking through all of this yesterday, a song came on that I've heard a lot & even sung a lot, but it suddenly took on a whole new meaning. The song: "You Can Have Me" by Sidewalk Prophets. So often I want to be tight-fisted with my time, my heart, my material possessions, my money, my _______...but the problem is, none of it is even mine to start with.

In this new season of Transition the anthem God has given me is "You Can Have Me". Whatever you ask for, it's Your's God...and that's a whole lot easier to say than live out sometimes. But with each new change that comes my way, I'm reminded of that anthem & that all I have is not my own.

A new season and a new anthem is a beautiful thing.
