Seasons

I created this blog because I had had my old one "Greater is He" for awhile. Three years to be exact. As seasons of life have changed, so has the need for a new blog. I drifted away from writing for awhile because I lost my desire to write. But, here I am. Back trying to write.

This new blog is based around the song, "Hills and Valleys" by Tauren Wells.

On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there

When I'm standing on the mountain
I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley
I know I am not alone!


Life has seasons. Some seasons are easier than others.
 
In this season, I am growing a lot. As an adult. As a Christian. As a person.
 
I am paying for college and for car bills. I am working at a job that fulfilled the desire of my heart. It doesn't mean it is easy, but I do find a lot of joy in it.
 
There is a lot I could say about this season but one thing I want to emphasize: My God is faithful.
 
He has provided gas when my tank ran low. He has provided funds when money was tight. He has provided comfort when I felt alone. And he has provided hope when I felt hopeless. In all these things and more, I have strengthened my knowledge that He is good and faithful.
 
I don't believe we are to remain silent on the ways in which God shows Himself so this is my testimony blog. A testimony of the God of the hills and valleys. A testimony that I am not alone.

Walking It Out

In the workout world, when you are training for a marathon, you do interval training where you push hard and then walk it out. Honestly, the walking it out can be the hardest part because you know the next interval is coming and all you really want to do is sit down! Walking it out builds endurance and teaches consistency. You go further in training when you learn to walk it out. I feel like I am in a season of walking it out; and I don't really like it. I want to run or sit down or give up. Instead, here I am, walking it out. This season is not a time out or a sprint. It's a building of endurance and consistency.  God has placed a calling on my heart. I have been knocked down, discouraged, and all sorts of in my feelings. God has given me room to grow into my calling but I am not comfortable. Imagine that ... growth happens in discomfort.  I'm also scared. Scared of this season. I've always been a "jump all in" kind of girl. I don't do an...

Life Lessons from COVID-19

 Goodness, haven't we all learned something from COVID-19! From general things like what professions are essential to the day to day function of our world. To how we are social people, even as introverts. To adjusting to social distancing and masks everywhere. However, I believe we all have learned some very personal things about ourselves as well. In that, there is room to grow.  Here are some things I have learned and grown in: 1. My worth. This is probably the biggest and most life changing one. As well as one of the biggest works in progress. COVID-19 challenged me in where I find my worth. Like many people, I like working and people interactions. COVID-19 cost me jobs and well, a pandemic is not really a social place. It left me hitting rock bottom several times. Like many people, I battled depression due to the circumstances. It was hard; brutal even. But then something happened. God began scrapping layers back in my heart to reestablish who I am. I am of value. I am lo...

Overcomer Not A Survivor

If I could give you a tiny picture of the last few years, you would see a story woven with pain and heartache. Not completely, but a lot. Some my own making and choosing and some just how circumstances happened. Toxic relationships, job loss and changes, and a plethora of health issues. My therapist (which I highly recommend having one to anyone. Yes, you can still love Jesus and need a therapist) calls me "strong."  And I agree. I am strong. But this has been on my mind and is bothering me so here we are writing. My generation is entitled (overall) but there is a much bigger movement at play...victimization. The culture around us in the world right now claims victimization for everything. People as a whole feel the wrongs they experience follows them. Defines them. Takes over them.  That to me, friends, is a depressing thing. See, in victimization we almost always default to survival mode. In survival mode we are just trying to make it. We are trying to fight against out dem...
