As school whines to an end there is a seed of summer that starts to bloom in every mind. Summer can mean lots of different things to you. More of free time, sleeping in, finding that summer fling, hanging with friends or like most students...no school. For me, its all of those, not really the fling but if it happened then I would be cool with it but I love summer because its the time God takes me, strips me down to my core, challenges me in my relationship with him and builds me up for the next year. I grow-up spiritually during summer. Summer is kinda like my spiritual birthday; no big parties just lots of small, intimate meetings. I have nothing to worry about but Him & I.
Lately, Life has been really easy going. I love it! Having new faith in God every time I wake-up to a new day is so refreshing. Everything is falling into place, I'm not doing anything! Every time I pray at night before I drift away into my dreams I try to express how I feel to God but I can't. That feeling reminded me of that song..oh what is it! Indescribable! It is truly an indrescribable feeling. So secure, so loving, so kind, so heavenly. I never want to lose anything that God has planned now or ever for me. If life is this good I can't wait for the rest of my life!
I know lots of people will come in and out of my life but I have to except that that's life. Yea, sure I'll be hurt, sure I'll cry but every time someone walks out someone else God has for me will walk in. I have a metaphor I like to use, My heart is a garden; it can grow sweet smelling roses and fruit or it can be died and a scary place. If I'm in control of the gate to my heart then I'll start letting the wrong people in and my garden will start to die. If I give the key to God though, he knows his plans for me, he knows what is best so my garden will be overflowing with sweet smelling roses and fruit that I can give away to my guests in my heart. I don't want to be a sour-puss so I've given that key to God. People have walked into my life already that I can see will be good for me. Wither its to teach me how to love or to teach me how to be humble they are there for a reason.
Everything has a season, just like it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven." Summer is my season of growing; What is summer your season of?
