The spiritual season my life is in

"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)


I am in my spiritual season of winter; I am here for a divine purpose. I know His busy
Doing good things within me there are no doubt that what I feel inside is different than, what I have ever felt in my life. Currently my spiritual winter is time of darkness, a dreary feeling that has been lurking over the shadows of my life.

Trees are dreary; flowers are death and have withered away into the ground.
I am uncomfortable within my own skin I feel like the world is above my head, that
It will drag on for another three months,
I feel as if God has some how left me on an island to be still and alone with myself.
I also feel like I have done something wrong, perhaps I didn’t take the order of
what was needed in the previous seasons.
I try to cover up my head with the spiritual blanket because I knew that He wouldn't let me go into this storm without giving me the tools to overcome. I've made it through before.

Each day I feel like the weight upon my shoulders gets heavier, and then I serve myself the reminder that when that storm comes all I have to do is look up into the sky knowing that all things of the heart does come to an end.
Yet in that moment of absolute uncertainty of where I am. I hear his voice, "Do you trust me".
I hold onto the surety of knowing that it is time to curl up into the warmth of God's lap. He will give me directions to plant the seeds for the coming season that's ahead of us.

I have a divine purpose that's about to be born in the midst of my spiritual winter, it’s
a time to evaluate, planning and set preparation. Its time to shovel all those unwanted emotions out of the depth of our souls, to clear the driveway of our minds. Its time to teach ourselves how to navigate the journey ahead as we go about our daily lives.
Is the time to shovel snow and ice from the driveway of your mind?
It's the time when the holy spirit of God has a place within you.
I know that when he's this quiet, almost like your connection to he has taken a vacation seeing as its winter and most of us feel like just hiding within our homes.

God said through the storms of life I'll never leave you. Yet it comes and goes and it always come to me when I know I have been doing fine. That God and I were on the same life path. Yet out of nowhere lightening strike and the stormy winds blows me from side to side. But I know that I can ride through this storm. That there’s a new season close by. That he can speak to my enemies and to make way for me to come through. All I want is for this season to bring me too safety and a place of peace and serenity.
I pray harder, more than I've ever done before. God speak to me; let me hear your voice one more time.

Yet during winter its time for a spiritual rest.  A time to reflect on God and God's unconditional love to me and to maintain an attitude of reverence before God my saviour.
