Today's Diva's Diamonds:
It's a New Season, It's a New Day...Today is the first day of Autumn!!! Ahhhh! I LOVE this time of year because of so many reasons! Number one my birthday is on October 10th! YAY! Number two the change in the weather is so amazing from hot to cool to crisp here in NYC! Number three school starts and just the feeling of new beginnings and a fresh start is in the air! I keep hearing the song, "It's a New Season, It's a New Day by Israel Houghton in my head as I write this post. I'm sure I've shared this song before on this blog but for some reason I really believe many of you reading this blog need to understand the importance of preparing for a new season both in temperature and in your life!
One thing about seasons is that there are two things that will happen....It will change and it will come! So it is very important to prepare for the new season so that you will be ready for what is to come. For example, the new season in weather you can no longer wear shorts and tank tops if the weather calls for sweaters and long pants. Now in your life, if God is telling you to let go of a relationship, or pause that relationship and work on you or begin a new relationship then it is time to do so because God already knows the end result and HE is just conditioning you for what is to come. Let me make another example, you know that Fall is right around the corner but you have not bought any sweaters, pants, scarves or jackets for the cool weather that is on the way. Then one morning you are getting ready to walk out the door and you neglected to check the weather and you are caught by surprise of a cold front that came in last night. You have no choice but to go back in the house and try to layer up clothes that you have and protect yourself from the weather until you are able to buy clothes that are appropriate for the new season. The same thing goes for new seasons in your life. You can no longer hold on to something that God is clearly telling you to let go or close. Or if you are trying to rush a season into happening buy trying to make someone ready for a promotion, relationship, position or item that he/she may not be mentally, emotionally or spiritually ready to handle yet. They may know about it and have rehearsed some things in their head or prayed about it but they are not ready to walk into what is before them just yet and if you are trying to rush them it will be a bigger mess that can be even beyond your control to fix. BUT GOD!
I'm here to share with you the importance of preparation for a new season and be ready for the change. You already know that there are FOUR seasons, Winter-Spring-Summer-Autumn, but just because you know what they are and that they are coming that you will be ready for the season when it arrives. I'm speaking to you reading this post that YOU can not longer wait for the season to arrive to get ready. God is tired of seeing you struggle and getting it together at the last minute. It is time for YOU to prepare ahead of time so that you can just walk into your new season with confidence and prepared for the change. YOU will have more time to do other things that are more important than catching up because you already know the seasons will come. It is now time for YOU to Be Ye Ready!
I am right there with you! God has been really on me about preparation, not rushing others and be still once the preparation is done for the season to arrive. That is hard for me because I want things NOW!! LOL! Don't we all? But as we grow up and mature it is now time to be at peace right where we are and be ready as the Word of God says, In season and Out of season!
Share with me what are you doing to prepare for your NEW SEASON! I would love to know what you are doing and how you are learning to adjust to who you are now and where GOD wants to take you!
