Seasons of...

525,600 minutes...
are you singing?



One of the best songs ever written. Perspective. All wrapped up in a catchy,TONY award winning tune.

525, 600 minutes. 8760 hours. 365 days. 12 months. 4 Seasons. ONE year.

For Everything There is a Season
a time for every activity under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to harvest

A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down, and a time to build up.

A time to cry and a time to laugh
A time to grieve and a time to dance
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones

A time to embrace and a time to turn away
A time to search and a time to quit searching


A time to keep and a time to throw away

A time to tear and a time to mend
A time to be quiet and a time to speak

A time to love and a time to hate 
A time for war and a time for peace.

...singing yet?

to most, the above cluster of verses is merely a well known song by the Byrds. To me, it is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

This being said...King Solomon (who is said to have penned, Ecclesiastes,) had a Number 1 hit single on the Billboard top 100!..but I digress.

Seasons are a part of life. Physically, there are 4 of them. Winter, Spring, Summer or Faaa-llll... all you've got to do is call....

yet? :-)

This month, though Fall is my FAVORITE season, I'm not going to be writing about the weather.  I am going to be writing about LIFE.

What many don't realize, is that King Solomon goes on to elaborate a bit in verse 11 of Ecclesiastes 3.

"Yet, God has made everything beautiful for it's own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people can not see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end."

EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL FOR ITS OWN TIME

That one line speaks VOLUMES.  It says that yes, things will be great...in their own time. But, it also says that things will be ugly too. Where we, as humans, find great fault is when we EXPECT to have our lives be lollipops and roses all the time. -When in all actuality WE don't deserve the good stuff we get anyway, (more on this statement at a later date)

When "things" don't go our way, we are SO quick to get angry with God, instead of thanking Him for the good stuff...when the good stuff happens.

Life, can be viewed, somewhat, like a year.  We have beautiful, sunshiney, warm moments. We have cozy, loving, thankful moments. We have dark, cold, desperate moments but, by the blood of Christ, we ALWAYS have the new, rebirth, growing season that leads to the sunshine.

This month, I want to have an open conversation about the different seasons of LIFE.

525,000 MOMENTS so dear.



Join me?

I challenge you to spend some time with your journal and your pen this month. The first task is this:

Make a list of all of the different "seasons" of your life, this far.
(ex. awkward elementary me, lost junior high student, college co-ed, 20's, 30's, newlywed, new parent, etc.)

Leave a space between each 'Season'

In that space, I would love for you to list 5 events that you remember the MOST details about  during that particular Season.

send me an email... leave me a comment...facebook me or intagram me some of your 'Seasons' I would love to hear about some of them.

We are going to move further with this task...so keep it handy.



{beBlessed} and have a GREAT day!
