I am writing this today to hope to encourage you. Are you going through a time right now that is difficult and that you think you'll never get through? Pregnant with nine more months to go.....caring for a toddler who is running you ragged....taking teenagers to event after event with no time for laundry....caring for a parent or grandparent listening to their stories for the umteenth time or going to yet another doctor appointment...
I just want you to know this situation that you are in will pass. It won't last forever. It is a season you are going through. You will come out of it on the other side and life will be different then for another season. Don't despair, get depressed, or be overwhelmed. God is with you. He will lead and direct you. Look up to Him for help. Stay in His Word.
I remember when I was helping to care for my mom in her later years when she wasn't well. Missy was a teenager and had lots of things going on. I was a little anxious thinking I was going to miss out on what Missy was doing for the rest of her life! But I didn't. I may have missed a few rodeos. I was able to see God use this to help Missy have quality time with her dad and for me to have a special time with my mom. This season of caregiving didn't last that long and then she was gone and there was a new season with new challenges and needs.
I was thinking of the yucca plant this morning. When it blooms it is so fun and beautiful but it does not last long in its blooming state. Its season is short. You will see your season too will be short when it has gone and you look back at it after a period of time. You will see that God was with you and used you and it was His purpose that you walked through the season you did.
