Seasons

Hi Ladies. I hope you are all well. I am in a season of transition. Transition in job, family structure, and ministry position. One thing I know for sure is that life is full of seasons. The writer of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes pinned it (and there was even a song written after it) when he/she mentioned that "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Jesus spoke indirectly about seasons changing when he was speaking to his disciples at the table of his last meal with them. In the biblical book of John, he mentioned that his time would be ending soon on earth so that another season with the Spirit of God could come. Seasons change, and whether we like it or not, we change with those seasons.

It is imperative to know which season you are in. Every season will have inherent instructions to follow. For example, in seasons of transition, it is wise to not make hasty decisions. Nothing is stable and so very sensitive in seasons of transition. In seasons of declaration, it is crucial to make sure you are strong and courageous. In seasons of endings, it is necessary to remain focused and clear so as not to abort the process of ending. I could go on, but you get the point. Make sure you know what season you are in so you can gather the right instructions. Seek the wisdom of God and allow the Spirit of God to lead you to the right people for earthly wise counsel.

Blessings,
Aurellia

Random Thoughts and Reflections

Hi Ladies. I just thought about something: We have to make sure we laugh a lot. During our day we have to make sure that we find something or someone to lift our spirits with laughter. I work in a profession where it might be considered rude to be laughing. But on my way to work, I was talking to a girlfriend and just laughed. I had lunch yesterday with a colleague and we laughed. Gosh, those endorphins just gave me the boost that I need to start and continue my day.

Gem of the Day: Ladies, find a way to get some laughter in.

Another thought of mine this morning came when I reflected on yesterday morning's conversation. Something I told my friend resounded like a loud cymbal back to me: Be Clear and Free. Clarity on my desires, my powers, my goals, my weaknesses will bring the freedom necessary to walk out this next phase in my life. In business, we can get so convoluted that we forget the purpose and mission of our company. In our relationships and families, we get so bogged down by societal norms that we forget the purpose and mission of our households. Being clear about our purpose and mission in our lives will aid in keeping us free from the weight of all sorts of indiscretions. God has one purpose in mind. Clarity will bring the Freedom necessary to walk it out.

Gem of the Week: Ladies, be Clear and be Free.

Blessings as we walk this journey together,
