Spring

I’m in a major season change right now. Ironic how my personal/spiritual change seems to be running parallel with the actual season change here in Charleston. The warmth of Spring starts in the next few weeks and The Lord gave me a word today that brought a lot of warmth to my spirit. Let me give you a short back story…

In June of last year the Lord gave us a word that we going to be “released” from our current season of ministry. We’ve really been in process of trying to discern where the Lord has us and as I sit here writing, we are still unsure. It’s been a long 8 months and yesterday I was having a “where are You Lord?” moment. Today during our staff prayer we had some time of silence and I felt lead to read Vicky Beeching’s Blog. It was the exact word I needed. Here’s what she posted…

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

“This is what the LORD says – He who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who conquered the chariots and horses to rescue His people: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert  and streams in the wasteland…I am doing a new thing”

I feel like for many people right now God is bringing to birth a new season of life…perhaps you have been through a long dark night? Perhaps its been a painful uphill struggle and you are longing for a new season to arrive?…

Just as surely as the wheel of the seasons turns, with Fall becoming Winter, and Winter becoming Spring, God WILL be faithful to the promises He has spoken to your heart. Your “Spring” is coming. Your healing, restoration and hope WILL come.

  2. Yes, God is good. The song, “Like A Lion” by Relient K came to mind as I pictured what you said about the change in seasons. What a wonderful God we have who can take weeks of bleak wintery cold and turn it into “the most beautiful of days.”
