"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Ecclesiastes 3:1
April is in full swing and with April comes rain. Here in Arkansas it rains all.the.time. It doesn't just rain for a couple hours but for a few days. The verse in Ecclesiastes reminds me that change happens in every season. I am currently in the transitioning season of life.
Back in March I slipped on ice walking to the library and fractured my wrist. This was a HUGE transition for me because it just so happened to be the wrist I write with. Not being able to use my dominant hand for lifting, pushing, pulling or any daily activity has been a really big struggle. If you know me at all, you know that I am independent. Having fractured my wrist has showed me that it is okay to be dependent on other people. If you ask my roommates or my family, they have had to help me with the smallest of tasks. Opening water bottles, lifting a suitcase, tying my shoelaces, and much more. I live a fast paced life and as much as I would have liked to not be wearing a brace right now, I realized God is showing me that it's okay to slow down and not be so independent. There are times I am frustrated and upset because of this brace but again God is showing me in a new way to be dependent on Him. I won't be in this brace for long but while I am in this season, I need to rely on Him.
We all are in some type of transition. Whether in high school, college, or in our careers. We don't stay in one place for very long. Each chapter of life comes with new responsibilities, new friends, new relationships, ect. The beauty of Ecclesiastes 3:1 is that this season of life won't last long. Embrace it while you can and trust God with this season of life.
