Community Brew : Seasons

Today I am linking up with Madison and Rachel for one of my favorite linkups, Community Brew. This months theme is seasons, so today I am sharing with you a little bit about what I have learned in my different seasons of life.

What has God taught you about seasons in life?
God has taught me so much about seasons of life, first I think that sometimes it's so easy to lose sight of whats ahead especially when your in a season of waiting, uncertainty, or struggle. He's taught me that he always meets me where I'm at no matter what I am going through, he is right there walking through it with me. Even in those seasons of waiting. He's taught me that he has a purpose for every season of my life and through that I find beauty in  the season. 

How have you learned to move from one season to another?
Moving from one season to another, has been all about prayer and soaking up his word. Joshua 1:9  says, "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” I find comfort in this verse in each season of life that I am in. 
What is your current season in life and how are you learning to grow in that season?
My current season of life is a mix of singleness and pursuing my graduate degree in Counseling. In my singleness I am learning what it means to be content in it even though there is huge desire on my heart to be married one day and have a family of my own, but I know that God has a plan for it all. I am also learning to rest in him and give of time to others, and work on investing in them. I'm not saying that singleness is a bed of roses and that I don't struggle with it sometimes, I know it's hard. But I do know that despite the "hot mess" days God is right there pursuing me, that is where the real beauty is. 
In pursuing my degree, God is shaping me into the godly women that he wants me be so that I can help others in their struggle and show his love to them in return. 
Isaiah 40:31 
"but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

I love this verse because it truly captures what it is to be in a season of life where we are waiting, struggling, etc. It reminds me of a song by Francesca batisttelli, He knows my Name. If you have a chance listen below and know that God is always with you no matter what season of life you are in.

The Wetherills Say I Do | Guest Post

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
