Every Season Serves A Purpose

Every season serves a purpose, and seasons create an opportunity for you to excel.

Sometimes, the season you are in right now sucks! 

Okay, let's be real. This might be the sucky season for you, and you think, are you for real? Can anymore crap happen to me? 

What did you think because you deserve it or better yet because you're "a Christian" now it's all going to be sunshine and roses?

No, sorry to bust your bubble, not happening.

There will be horrible seasons, and there will be incredible seasons, that is life. There was this commercial, it says too much of a good thing is bad, he has one of something and it's good but when a hundred show up not so good.

Same thing if we only had sunny days. How would we appreciate them without knowing the storms?

You have to go through the really bad times so when the really good times come, you are truly grateful for them.

Here's the key, if while going through your bad season, are you cursing God? Are you saying why me? Do you lose your faith? Are you in the poor me phase?

The difference between a winner and a loser is how you get to the finish line, that's it. If no matter what life throws at you, if you still believe you will be okay, if you have faith, if you have a positive attitude, and if you know that you will get through this, then you're a winner and you will succeed. 

Now here comes Willy Wonker, warning! 

No sugar coating! Yes, even when you do all of that, even when you know things are going to get better, you will occasionally fall on your face.

You will let a coworker have it because he is disrespectful towards you. You have one person on the phone screaming at you, and you will think when is my season coming? Come on, haven't I waited long enough? You will cry and yell and throw your hands up and want to quit.

Yes, I am human. I fall, I get frustrated, and yes, I ask when is my season coming. But what you need to do is walk outside and take a few deep breaths. For me, I listen to my music, and I pray. I give thanks. In the midst of it all, I give thanks for all my other blessings I have and for the incredible blessings that will be coming my way soon enough. 

That is what gets me through my day, and like always, I go to church. The message will always be the one I need to hear. At the moment, I need to hear it!

So today, my friends, if you're having one of my days, stop, breathe, give thanks, and be grateful. It will all be alright, your season is coming, hold on, believe, trust, and have faith. That's all you have to do. Just remember you will be okay.

"Though I go through it yet, I will trust you , I will have faith, and I will believe,"

"Be the change you want to see"
