I normally write these “Five Minute Fridays” in hopes that I will actually motivate myself to write a full-length blog. I’m guessing that day will come on Monday (supposing Camping’s prediction isn’t true, of course). Anyway, the writing prompt for this week is “Seasons Change.” The theme could not be more fitting for my life at this very moment.

So here we go! Five minute Friday… Seasons Change.

When I think about seasons I don’t think about changes in the weather or holidays – I think about clothes. I think about blazers and boots in the fall, I think about pretty sweaters in the winter, summer brings an array of flip flops to choose from, and the spring means light, colorful cardigans. When seasons change, my wardrobe follows.

But when it comes to seasons changing in life, I’m not as easily adaptable. I like change – in fact, I welcome it. However, life changes seem to be more daunting than trying to decide on what to pack for a week long vacation. And we all know how daunting THAT can be.

And just as the weather changes, we know when it’s time to trade out the cardigans for the flip flops or the suede boots for the galoshes.

I have this feeling that a season of change is upon me. Just like you can see the leaves turn color, I can tell when my life is about to shift. I have an idea about when it’s going to happen, I just don’t know how. I wish I knew exactly where I was going. All I know is that I’m on my way. And all I can do to prepare is to wear an attitude of strength, confidence, fearlessness (as much as possible anyway), and a have a full reliance on God and understanding that He is bigger than anything I’ll face in my life.

Seasons may change, but God never does. And knowing that, I can handle going wherever this life will take me next.
