To Every Season

"There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace."

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

God, I'm tired of this season. I'm tired of being sad and angry. I'm tired of this cold, dark winter but I know you promise that spring will come. You promise that you make all things beautiful in their time. Even though nothing in my life isn't falling into place the way I had intended it to, I can't help but want to just sing to you and give you all of my praise. Give me strength to get through this season. I'm so sorry for following my own plans and not yours. I only ever want my vision to line up with yours God, if it doesn't... it will never work. Open the eyes of my heart to see how much you love me, that you forgive me, and that I could forgive myself. I want to serve you with all I am and place all of my trust in your hands. That hasn't been easy for me, as you and I both know, but when I do... you reveal yourself in unthinkable ways. Jesus you are my stronghold, my rock. You know what's best for me and I will trust in you for that.

I'm ready for spring, I think it's my time to dance for you now.
