Today’s Topic: When Seasons Change

When I saw today’s topic, my heart sank.

It isn’t that I don’t like seasons…it’s just that the word brings back painful memories.

Is it wrong to revisit the past and reflect on difficult times of change

?

Today I’m going to say no and let myself remember…but only for five minutes.

Two years ago, Tobin and I were in the midst of heartbreak.

An adoption that fell through just weeks before the baby was due.

Wondering what our future looked like and if it even included children.

It was a time that made us question things and wonder what was wrong with us.

We tried so hard to trust through that season…to make sense of the deep, suffocating winter from which we could not escape.

God was near…and I knew it, but that didn’t make it easy. For weeks I cried myself to sleep…but I was never alone. Yes, Tobin was there. But there were also nights when I felt God’s presence in a powerful way and could hear His voice. I’ve got you, Mel.

It’s going to be okay.

And He has made that presence known through so many other seasons of change. Some have been wonderful, some have been difficult, but He’s always been there.

And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced,
Teaching us to breathe.

And what was frozen through is newly purposed,
Turning all things green.

So it is with You, and how You make me new
With every season’s change.
And so it will be, as You are recreating me,
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.
