A Change of Season, A Steady God
Hey friends,
I’ve been away from this space for a while. My summer was full of travels, time with friends, and pouring into others in different ways from weddings to sorority recruitment. It’s been full, and it’s been good.
Now, here we are just a few days away from a new season. Autumn is almost here, and I can’t help but feel like the timing is perfect. With everything happening in the world, the change of season feels like a gift we desperately need.
It’s so easy to get sucked into the constant scroll, eyes glued to the headlines. But in that place, we miss the things right in front of us. We miss the leaves beginning to turn, the crisp cool mornings, the shorter days, the new rhythms that fall brings. Without fail, the seasons shift. And in that, its easy to see God’s steady hand. He still holds the order. He is still on the throne..
And I believe this moment is an invitation for us as His children, as Christians, and as Disciples to step forward, to live boldly, to share the gospel in love. I know I am being called to start living more boldly in my own faith.
A few things I’m loving right now:
Worship walks: Listening to worship while praying over my neighbors as I walk has fed my soul in ways I didn’t expect.
Lifting weights again: I’ve loved feeling stronger and back in a rhythm at the gym.
Reading Proverbs: I’m always amazed by the richness of God’s Word, it makes me hungry for more no matter how many times I’ve read it.
In a few days, it’ll be the first day of fall (Monday or Tuesday, I think!). Where I live in the South, it’s still warm, but I’ll set out a pumpkin or two, make a hearty soup, and swap my light summer blankets for heavier ones. I want to embrace this season fully.
And, of course, grief is still part of my days. I still have weepy moments about Charlie’s death. But even in that, I can’t stop seeing how God is working. What the enemy meant for harm is pushing people toward Jesus. Charlie would have loved that. He would have loved to see the revival happening and all the blueberries being planted.
Friends, don’t lose hope. I know the weight of the world is heavy. I know the future is unwritten. I hate the division and confusion we see in the world. But God is making a way. Keep looking for Him. Keep choosing presence. Be the light.
