ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8

The quiet stillness that I find in the early morning and in the late night hours of the day- the birth and death of a day- it's in these times when I can easily sense the peace and presence of God. It's definitely in the stillness that we are better able to hear His voice. The busyness of the day and the polluting noise that fills the air makes it harder and harder to simply keep that peace of being in His presence. To keep the focus on what God wants to do and not only on your To-Do list. Seriously, there has been more and more times where I just wish I could mute the world.

But that's not how it goes.

However, since I finished school (Only God knows if and/or when I will return) I have discovered that I have been in much greater need of times quiet stillness. Its like sitting down for a pep talk with my coach before a game, regrouping at halftime to re-focus, and going through the highs and lows in the post-game wrap up.

*You wouldn't ever guess I'm a football fan, huh?!*

But that's how it has been for me in these post-grad months. Life is simpler, but more complicated. Less busy, but I got work to do. Much has changed, but much has stayed the same. IDK. It's all different though. Life moves on. Seasons change.

God keeps me moving with a near-sighted vision of what is to come. Every season brings something new; yet He keeps me moving. For me, this season is soon coming to a close. This past season of searching, learning, waiting, working, and serving. Make no mistake- many times I wish I was in a different season- like in a season of romance, vision, and wealth.

But that's not how it goes.

Just as Solomon writes in Ecclesiastes, pretty much there's a season for everything. And as mentioned numerous times throughout the bible, it is crucial to wait on the Lord. To wait on Him and to expect nothing other than Him; my lesson that I am continually learning.

Thank God for community.
