Seasons

Speaking of seasons,The rains have just subsided.Since the beginning of March,we have had heavy rains and flooding from all over the country.I love rains but i hate floods.More so if you live in my city,when it rains it actually pours.Our drainage system is no way near the best,so when it rains sometimes we have to wide through drainage water.And for some reasons,traffic piles up and it gets grid-locked,and public service vehicles are no where to be found,the few around hike the fares,to almost 3 times.And thats my city for you.I hope with time it will get better…I hope,I pray..

 

The other night,i was thinking about it,and i realized its the same with life.Every season comes with its own ups and down.I remember,a few years ago,nothing was working for me,I so thought(I know God was with me).But that was a silent season for me.My business didn’t bring much,it was in a secluded area,the little i got was for my house rent (i paid Ksh.2500) and it was a lot for me and for my business i paid like (Kshs.5000).Every coin i got was already assigned to a need.I rarely bought any clothes,shoes during that time,May be on my way home and i came across a camera…Only would i squeeze my little savings and buy.About food,i met a kind lady at work who always brought food with me in her mind…and thus i was always sorted..Talk of God making a way where there is no way.During that time i kept my friends at a distance,simply because i couldn’t afford keeping up with them,I missed reunions,weddings,Birthdays and important functions.And for some reasons i wasn’t stressed about anything,I woke,Prayed,work,and slept,and that was the norm for almost a year and half..Something inside me told me greater things and better life is ahead.But for this season,for me it was silent,so silent that i lived each day at a time.But then a time came,and my life changed,it wasn’t drastic but i moved from a place of lack to a place i have and i can share with others.

And so it is with life,sometimes you will lack,sometimes you will have more,Sometimes the seasons will be dark and silent,Sometimes it will be cold and gloomy,sometimes it will be sunny and lovely,but aren’t we called to celebrate each phase of our life?I cant say i celebrated the silent season of my life,but what stood out,is i never stressed over it.I wasn’t depressed at all,and may be that’s the reason i pulled through the dark season.Life is meant up of different seasons,of different emotions and responsibilities.

The Lord created different seasons in our lives to shape us, help us deal, and create us into who He intended us to be. He uses seasons to show us that He is good and can “make everything beautiful for its own time” (Ecclesiastes 3 1- 11). Seasons (good and bad) are ways for God to capture our hearts and our faith.To mold us to became a better version of us.

What season are you?Rejoice,it wont last long,Even the dark sky has a silver lining,showing the darkness will clear soon.Trust in Him always,He will make everything beautiful in His time,…That’s a promise.

I hope i have touched a heart.
