What season are you in?

At the beginning of every new year I ask God to give me a word. Maybe you do that too? I like to have just one word to focus on throughout the year while the seasons change. And it’s about this time of the year where I really begin to soak up all that the word has to offer me.

This year the word that I received was the word S O A R and here’s the scripture I’ve penned down in my prayer journal…

Isaiah 40:31 says, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will S O A R on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

I knew that once the kids returned to school this fall that life would feel different for me and it does. For the last few years when they went back - so did I. This past May I finally completed my degree at Western Theological Seminary which feels amazing.

When I started school, I wasn’t sure which direction God would have me go upon completion. I just knew that He had opened the door for me to attend there and that I needed to be obedient with the process. To my surprise, during that time, 1M was launched.

As I’ve been reflecting these last few weeks over my word and wondering when or what soaring with Him really looks like, it occurred to me that it’s right where I am today.

To be honest, I thought soaring was going to look different than this.

I think I may have had the equation off just a tad.

In the quiet and in the stillness of this sweet fall day, I was nudged to just embrace this unbelievable feeling of soaring with Him.

How about you? What season are you in? I just don’t want you to miss what might be right in front of you.
