Seasons

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8


I'm going through a season right now.

Last Fall I was in the middle of a very different season. I felt like I was on top of it all! I was obedient in getting up early and spending time with my Lord, not just in study, but in prayer as well. I felt good physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I was productive in my home. Life was good.

This is not that season.

I am tired. I can't get out of bed. I drag through the days, sometimes unable to get off the couch for too long. My house looks terrible. I don't feel good. I miss my time with God, and yet, I cannot get up and in the Word.

Where is God? He's right here with me. He's helping me through my days. He knows what is going on and why I am struggling so much. He knows that this is a season of my life and knows that I have not abandoned Him. I am still in prayer. He knows that I miss Him and long for the intimate time together. He has not left me to fend for myself.

My sincerest apologies to you, my friends. I feel as though I have abandoned you. I promise you, I will be back. I have lots of ideas and posts that I am longing to share with you. I have not left you. I have not forgotten you, and I continue to pray for you and your needs.

All my love dear friends!

Is there something specific going on or are you just depressed in general? I've been there (more times than I care to admit) so I just want to let you know that you have a friend here.
