When my children left home and my house grew silent I thought I was done.
No more purpose.
For the first time in my life I had lost, me!
I thought this was a season of freedom but somehow I found myself trapped searching for my own identity.
Who was I now? And did I really ever know who I was?
God was bringing me into a new season and it was unfamiliar and honestly scary at first.
He was showing me, my real identity!!
He was giving me a new heart for my new purpose.
I was never done, just changing…
”Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.“
Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 NLT
The truth is I was just beginning to enjoy the fruits ❤️
My friend you are not done yet either!
Wherever you are in life, wether it be hard, fun, sad, full, empty….. there is a season to walk through to get to the fruit!!
And oh how sweet it is!!!
“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders. so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born— and they in turn will teach their own children.”
Psalms 78:4, 6 NLT
