You are more…

Seasons change and so do we.  During this season those that have gardens or lawns they work hard at taking out the weeds, planting new buds, watering the soil so that it is ready to produce more.  They cut back trees and prune flower beds and bushes so they grow fuller and healthier.  Change doesn’t always feel good but we can learn so much from it.  Seasons of change in my life have not always been fun but they were necessary, for they all taught me {and still teach me} who I really am, what I needed to learn in order to become who I am meant to a be.  Grateful to God for all the changes. The ones that made me smile, the ones that made me cry, the ones that made me mad and forced me to question who I was, what I was doing and why I was doing it. Tuesday of last week I was forced into another season of change one that I tried not to have to go into.  I cried, I was sad, I questioned all the sacrificing and working while my body was in pain.  Then I came to the realization that this was not a change I would have chosen but one my heart, mind, body and soul desperately needed.
Seasons of change have brought me face to face with the woman I am today {and the woman I continue to develop}.  A woman who speaks the truth in love {almost 90% of the time, just being real; I have been known to speak without having had my coffee first and its not a good thing}.  A woman who loves people, looks to speak life into them and reminds them that they are more than what they are going through.  So I will take advantage as much as I can to remind you and myself, that every season comes with a reason.
Every season comes with change.  Every season comes with its own hardships and beauty. Every season comes with an opportunity to learn that we are more, have more to give, more to do, more to heal and more to live!
I want to remind you no matter what season you are in right now…
You are more than the losses in your life!
You are more than the accolades you have gained!
You are more than the illness that attacks your body!
You are more than the material possessions you own!
You are more than the words of destruction they have spoken to your face!
You are more than the heartache that seems to break you down!
You are FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made!
Psalms 139:14 says I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.  My prayer for you today is that through this season of change you remember that you were created for this time, for this season, with a reason and its to become what God has created you to be.  Don’t give up and don’t die out as you work towards being whole.  Let the Lord steady your heart and remember no matter what season you are living right now He has you in the palm of his hands.
