SEED SEASONS ...

Friends!!! ... yet another opportunity to share my heart ...and where I am on this journey of life!!! It's so exciting and comforting to know that my life is truly in God's hands. The plans that He has for me ("For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"-Jeremiah 29:11) make life so worthwhile!!

Soooo... I've been learning a lot about Seed Seasons ..."To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"(Ecclesiastes 3:1).

My father (Pastor) reminded me of this scripture a few weeks ago, and it still rings loud and clear in my ear!! It's often difficult, at times, for me to be patient ...something I'm still working on ...because I'm super excited about life and the passion that God has given me to change the world!! Yet, the older I get and the more I study God's Word, I realize that impatience is indicative to lacking trust in God.

Time, is irrelevant to God (II Peter 3:8) so if God has given me a zeal to manifest His glory in my life, why then should I ever allow time to dictate God's relevance in my life? If He's given me a vision, why should I allow time to determine my success?

Genesis 8:22
(While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease) further proves Ecclesiastes 3:1.

So then, I continue to focus on these powerful scriptures to understand this "underground" period of my life; an opportunity to rest, grow, die to my flesh, and study God's Word ...so that when my season of harvest comes, I'll remain humble, patient, and always reliant on God's truth (Word).

If He promised it ...I simply believe it!! ;)

On.the.journey,
