Seasons of Change

There's an old proverb that says, "Change is the only constant."

I've been thinking about this subject a lot over the past month as I have been preparing a message about the "Seasons of Change" for FTGI's Girls Night Out in October.

Of course it is Fall and so the topic seemed appropriate, but more than just picking a topic that would go with the decorations I always pray that I will share something that will touch the hearts of the women I speak to right where they are. Lately I have had so many conversations with people that are in a season of change in their lives. I can relate.

Although change can be uncomfortable and a bit difficult to navigate at times it is what brings out the colors in our lives. As God moves us into new seasons we discover colors that we didn't even know were there!

When I think of the "Fall" season of life I think of the stripping off of the old to make room for the new. Even though the letting go part can be so hard it is often necessary for growth and that is exciting!! If we don't embrace change we could miss out on a beautiful arrangement of color to add to the landscape of our lives.

I hope to see all of you at our Autumn Girls Night Out. I'll be speaking in more depth about navigating the seasons of change. Whether you come or not I hope this verse speaks life into your heart about your future...with God writing your story this is what you have to look forward to:

Jeremiah 29:11


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


Lots of Love,

Tracey






P.S.
I love the fact that the God we serve is unchanging. What a comfort to know that through every season of our life He is the same yesterday, today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8)
