The changing of the seasons

I love this time of year. Football season just started; there goes my Saturdays. It also means that Basketball season is almost here. It also means Im going to be putting a lot of miles on my car from driving to Hooville for all the home games. Yes thats right, Im a season ticket holder for UVA football, have been for years and probably will be until Im no longer alive. Sorry, I got off the subject. Anyways, my favorite part of this time of year is the change in the weather. Most people dont know that my first love is the weather. I have always enjoyed watched the seasons change and how it brings new forms of weather in each season. I loved it so much that when I first went to college my original major was in environment science. I was then going to get my masters in weather forecasting. Thats right folks, I was gonna be a weather man. Of course then I realized just how little money they made and I quickly changed my mind.

Even today, I still find myself waking up in the middle of the night to watch a good Thunderstorm. Five minutes usually turns into an hour which in turn leads to a day of being to worn out to want to do anything. Im rambling again, sorry. Anyways, I believe that one of the main reasons I love weather and the changing of the seasons is that it brings an end to one time and the beginning of another. Just think about it, the end of one season brings the newness of another.

You may be going through a season of heartache or trouble or doubt. Only God can really know just what is going on in a persons life at any given point in time. However, we can always be assured that a new season is coming. A new season that can bring great change to someones life. The trials and troubles you are dealing with can turn to triumph and victory in the season to come. Just think, all seasons have a beginning and an end, if you are feeling like you are in a season of defeat then dont look back to the difficulties you have been through but look forward to the victory that is coming in the season to come. God allows things to happen that are beyond our understanding, but trust Him that He will use this season in your life to change you for the best and to strenghten you for the seasons to come. I personally am going through a hard season in my life but I know in my heart that I will be strengthened in the end.

Have a great weekend.

In Christ,
Matt
