well today was the start of a new season. i should disclose that summer is my absolute favorite season. since moving to the pacific northwest, i've come to really appreciate summers - even if they don't start until july 5 here! and so i celebrated this new season with a friend. we hung out on the rooftop and talked and took in the beauty.
i'm excited for this new season for many reasons. one, the most obvious, is that summer brings sunshine and warmth. i love heat and i adore being kissed by the sun. my skin dances in the radiance of it all. second, i'm believing this new season will bring new birth in some areas of my life. they aren't dead but they are on life support. i'm ready for revival. third, this season brings my third anniversary of living in seattle. three is the number of completion. i feel as though i've finally come to terms with my life here. i'm working to make necessary changes and to build a family of sorts here.
this is where i live and until god says differently, i'm going to be here for the long haul. that means i'll be getting married and birthing my children here. sure, anything can happen, but as of right now, god told me i'm not going anywhere. i know how to listen. so i'm settling in and planting roots. first i'm getting a new job. then i'm going to go hard on my freelance business. and in the midst of all of that, i plan to finish and sale a book, meet and marry a great man and start building my life with him. i don't think small. can't help it. i know who's i am. he specializes in great outcomes. and as long as i serve him, i can have whatever i ask for. my number one request is to live out his will for my life. but after that, i want a happy and healthy family. i want a happy home. i want a great job. and i want friends who are dependable like family. i prepare for bed knowing that god has it all under control. my life is in his hands.
so, new season, new opportunity to walk in the goodness and fullness of god. happy summer solstice!
