I was recently asked; "What season are you in?" Often times we are in a season of waiting, a season of anxiety and hardship or even a season of moving forward. I'm not in one of those seasons. I am in a season of life that is simply content. There is nothing I want and nothing I need.
How cool is that? How often can you say "There is nothing that I need." Over this last year I have been truly blessed. I have formed so many new friendships, I've become a part of a community of incredible people that I admire and who have been so encouraging. Most of all I have renewed my relationship with God.
It is so nice when you wake up ready and excited to start a day. Or when I can't stop smiling at how blessed I am. The things that once were sources of frustration have not only become less frustrating but often times they have become sources of joy. Where I was once anxious, I am peaceful. Where I was once so hurt, I am restored. Where I was angry, I have nothing but Joy.
I think back on the moments that I never thought I would or even could get through and I see it was simply a snapshot. It was just a picture or a moment of my life. It might not have been pretty, but it also did not last forever. There is a bigger picture that is so much more important. And when you put all these snapshots together we might just begin to see why all these other moments will get us to where we are going. I am so thankful for those moments because they forced me to dive into myself and my walk with God. I am not only content but I am happy and full of joy again! Its pretty amazing how God uses those incredibly awful moments to create a more profoundly amazing life.
