Do you feel it? That gentle shift? That innate knowing that something new is on the horizon? 

It has me singing: “Something is moving, something is changing, see His glory! Feels like heaven on earth!” 

The last few months I felt like a robot, moving about doing what needed to be done. Did I bath? Did I eat? Did I do that project? Did I check on everyone… I wasn’t living.

I was existing… trying to keep afloat, trying to make it through each day. It almost felt like I was out of my body dragging it through the days. 

Everyone can attest that this year has been one of mourning, of weeping and of trying to be ok. 

The reality is that we are not ok… and that’s perfectly fine. We don’t have to be ok all the time, we don’t have to have it all together day in day out. 

Yes it’s scary for us to acknowledge all the underlying issues because of the fear of falling apart completely and being able to be there for the ones who depend on us. 

We are in a pandemic. 

You are still standing. 

It’s ok to fall apart sometimes. 

As August comes in to bring the winds of change,  to blow us into a new season; instead of trying to hold on to the past let us allow ourselves to float above the change that is on the horizon. 

The only constant thing in life is change and nature is a good example in reminding us of that. The beauty in that is although each season is different and each season comes with its own challenges and difficulties; each season is beautiful and brings forth unique growth that can only occur within that season. 

So instead of trying to force ourselves to do things, forcing ourselves to be ok. Let us be content with the fact that we aren’t ok. 

For this season won’t last forever, one day we shall look back and see that we are now ok. 

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
