Today is October 1, 2018, a new season in nature and for me too. As I see and feel the cooler fall air wrestle with the warm air of summer and the season begins its change, I too am wrestling with change. As God is calling me deeper, in a deeper faith, trust, hope, dependency, and love for Him. I am learning to surrender it all to Him my hopes, dreams, plans, goals, ambitions, time-frame, and everything that I am and hope to be must be who he wants me to be. Letting go of the why’s, what if’s, and how long, Lord? and simply trusting Him, resting in His promises because He is faithful is the proper response. So that’s what I am learning to do, rest in Him. Like the prophet Habakkuk 1:2, we are all prone to ask “How long Lord?” But we must also come to the same conclusion that we must wait on the Lord, in Habakkuk 2:1, the prophet decided to place himself in a place of submission and waiting on the Lord “I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the tower; and I will keep watch to see what He will say to me, and what answer I will give when I am reproved.” As we rest in God’s precious promises and believe His word we too can say like Habakkuk did in 3:18 “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will shout in exultation in the God of my salvation!” (amp). It is not always easy but it is always worth it, God says that His grace is sufficient and we can depend on Him, It’s in His strength powered by the Holy Spirit that we are able to fully submit, surrender, and obey Him especially during the season changes of life. Each new season brings a new beginning and no matter what God will be with us through it all.
Peace in Christ,

Well written. It resonates with my journey of surrendering to God. Keep looking to Him.
Glenda,
Thank you. Sorry it took many months to respond. To be honest after this post I was in such an uncomfortable state that I didn’t want to over share. But This blog has been my passion for a few years now and fear stopped me. Your response though it was months ago, God know that I needed to see it today as I struggle in my decision to continue with this blog. This is my confirmation thank you! I will keep looking to HIM.
