Changing of the seasons

Boy how time just flies by! Today it's a nice 73 degrees and sunny. You couldn't ask for better weather. It seems like just the other day that it was hot and humid and just plain miserable. Then again, it seems like it was just the other day the rain was falling and it was dark and dreary! Amazing how the seasons change. I just love it. It's a reminder to me that we have seasons in our lives. Times of drought and dryness, times of a cleansing rain or possible a rain of trials and tribulation. Then there are days that the sun is shining and the blessings of life are there just to overtake you. Just like the cool breeze on an early October morning.

Well, we are finally open for adoption through the State of Arkansas! YES, it has been forever! But, I know that God has been going before us making every crooked place straight and lining up the right people as well as preparing us for her! I wake up each morning and look in her room. The symbol of the faith we have in His promise. What symbol of faith can you go to that is right there to remind you of His promises. That room has comforted me many times. It's been a place I can go when doubt begins to creep in. I can't wait til she occupies that room and I can tell her all about the greatness of our God!

Seasons come and seasons go. I love that. I love the fall, just like I love the summer, I love the spring just like I love winter! Every season in our life we are blessed. No matter if we are going through pain or through joy. The important part is that His glory be revealed through each season of our life!
