Simply out for a drive through the great plains and rolling hills of Nebraska the song Fierce by Jesus Culture came on. The song alone really hit me in that moment. Countless times when all hope seemed lost and everything and everyone around you seems to have gone astray… God was there. I cant explain the way changes in life happen except like when a puzzle is completed, a new one is started, and just like in life the pieces are scattered everywhere, like the aftermath of a hurricane or tidal wave. Once again we wait and begin to see the pieces coming together, whether or not we notice it at first. Thank you Lord Jesus for your underserving sacrificial Love! The comfort and peace we’re able to experience when the answers to the missing pieces in are life are unrecognizable, is undeniable true Love. He never fails!

Seasons
The word alone may make you think of something simple like an limited edition of Oreo cookies that only come out in the springtime, a recipe seasoning for your BBQ or pumpkin spice for thanksgiving, maybe the colorful leaves of fall or the song “Turn! Turn! Turn!” By the Byrds, which is undoubtedly inspired by Ecclesiastes 3. Whatever your fancy we also experience different weather seasons depending on our climate, I personally enjoy the season of fall… especially the rolling hills of Canada, what a remarkable sight to see. Life alone has it’s seasons. If you ever heard the phrase “that person has been seasoned,” you’ll know it refers to the occupation or certain circumstances they’ve faced. If you stand outside among God’s creation, take in and observe everything and how detailed God has been, imagine how much more detailed He is involved with in the works of your life. We face changes in our life all the time, whether we enjoy it or not. God gives us the opportunity to grow… the opportunity to be seasoned.
