When You Notice the Season Has Shifted
I realized something the other day, almost in a quiet sort of way.
Seasons of life do not always arrive with any fanfare.
They slip in softly.
Then one morning you pause long enough to notice the air around you feels different, and you think, oh...this is where my heart is right now.
If I am being honest... I think I am in a season of in-between.
Not quite the heavy weight of adversity, although there are moments that feel a bit tender.
And not quite the lightness of prosperity either.
It feels more like a rebuilding season, slow and careful.
I do not always know what to do with it.
Maybe you have felt that too, that unsure stirring inside?
Lately, I keep coming back to Ecclesiastes 7:14.
Almost like a whisper that finds me at just the right moment. “In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider, God has made the one as well as the other.”
I linger here for a while, because it reminds me that God is in every part of the story, not only the chapters that feel easy to celebrate.
There is something holy about that thought.
Maybe even healing.
It gives me permission to let this season be what it is, without rushing it or trying to tidy it up too quickly.
God is here in the middle, shaping something I cannot quite see yet.
I think that matters.
And perhaps this is what I am learning, slowly, almost hesitantly.
Every season, even the uncertain ones, holds a piece of God’s goodness.
Every season invites us to look for Him.
So if you find yourself in an in-between place too, let’s meet there for a moment.
Let’s trust that God has not forgotten where we stand.
And let’s believe together that He is working something quiet and beautiful, even here.
