Reasons. Seasons. Lifetime.
This is one of my favorite sayings, only because it rings so true.
In this past year, I have learned and experienced each of these.
Mostly I have learned more from the heartache that nothing is promised. Words can only mean so much. People change, they change their minds and they move on. Even though we have the best intentions and make promises; we don't know what our future holds.
We try and fight it when it doesn't go the way it is supposed to.
But the sooner we give into the fact that what was happening was for a reason the better off we are.
No sense in fighting something you have no control over.
It may seem like you're giving up, but I don't think so.
I think it is about acceptance and learning to let go.
Sometimes, God takes us places on our adventure that we don't have planned out.
I find that I am in a season of uncertainty.
Nothing really seems like it is in stone.
There are plenty of changes happening.
Too many feelings of discontent and worry.
But I know that this is only a part of the story.
Only a minimal detail in the bigger picture.
Lifetime... may be a long time or maybe too short.
We never know how long a lifetime actually is.
We can only hope for a long life filled with love and laughter surrounded by family and friends.
I have found a few people that I know deep in my heart that are my lifetime.
No matter where I go or what I do, or where they do and whatever they do.
They will always be there for me and likewise.
I love them and can't imagine my life without them.
This is what makes all the reason and seasons worth it.
Living life with those that have come through it all with you for your lifetime.
Life is too short to be anything but happy.
It is hard to find the joy in everything,
Hold fast to this:
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
