Seasons change and that’s okay. Each season serves a purpose slowly revealing what God wants for us. Sometimes we need the difficult seasons to remind us why we need God. There is always purpose to everything we go through. Regardless of the season God always has a plan and He is faithful.

Some my highest highs have come from the deepest heart break. God shows up when you least expect it and brings you through the other side even stronger. My previous relationship failed. My future and what I thought was my forever ended when he walked out the door. Love looks different in different seasons. Now almost a year later I am still trying to navigate the waiting and at the same time the idea of dating. I struggle with giving too much and getting my heart broken. It’s okay for different seasons to require different boundaries.

Seasons change because they have to. But sometimes so do we. Without the push to change we never would. Like me with dating – I unfortunately kept making the same mistakes. Giving too much of my heart too soon. Sometimes you need to look yourself in the mirror and give it to yourself straight. Things won’t always be black and white “easy breezy I don’t need to think.” Most of the time when the seasons change we struggle though it. We don’t like change and it’s scary. For me losing love was scary. I kept trying to find it over and over again in the same ways. But seasons change and so do you.

I realized love isn’t always simple. I’m still trying to navigate all this and it isn’t easy. You need to guard your heart but without the risk of opening up you’ll never know. If someone rejects me I just know they weren’t the right one. What God has for you will just happen in unexpected ways – no one can shut the door to what God has for you. You have to trust that He knows what He’s doing. You have to choose not to let every heart break, criticism, and unkind comment destroy you. These things are testing you. God is preparing you and strengthening you. So what is this season trying to show you? Ask yourself “what is God trying to tell me through this?”

Don’t let the fear of what this next season should be or shouldn’t be hold you back. Maybe it’s easier not to get your hopes up or maybe you fear your hopes are too high either way just trust in God. Like I said before I realized love is different in different seasons. I was so fixated on finding love that I lost myself. If you throw yourself into your fears and allow them to consume you you’ll undoubtedly lose yourself. I tip toed on the edge of my convictions in order to be what others wanted of me. Don’t go looking for what God has promised – He will bring it to you. Just seek Him. Seek Him in this season and as the season changes fix your eyes on what God has promised to you.

Remember You are Fearfully Made
