So I took a slight blogging break.
If you can call three months slight.
This summer went by in a whirlwind of change, and I feel I missed it.
I missed many sun soaked days.
I missed many chlorine drenched, sun burnt hours.
All that I missed with packing and planning.
We moved to a new home.
No, not Vermont yet, and to be honest that has partly been the reason for my absence here.
This summer was bright and hot, but on the inside my soul was struggling with the shadows of discouragement.
We are still here, still waiting.
Things are happening, yes, the Lord is working and moving.
But I have fought feelings of complete defeat as His answers are still "not yet."
But this season of waiting has taught me a reliance on the Lord that i needed to have.
It has brought me to my knees, and from there I have been able to stand stronger against doubt
The leaves are starting to change.
The breeze in the air brings on the beginnings of my favorite season, fall.
My babies went back to school.
My youngest is walking.
There's so much change in this new season, and I don't want to miss it.
These past few months, I've learned hard but rewarding lessons.
The biggest one,
that I must remember this world, this life, is temporary.
Like ripples in the water,
we show up for a time then fade away.
However, Heaven is forever. Jesus is our constant season of joy and contenment. And the ripple we as believers make in this life, are met
with Jesus standing at the banks of eternity.
So let this new season come.
Bring on the leaves, bring on the pumpkins, bring on the revival. Amen.
