Seasons

"A season of obedience is followed by a season of blessings." - Pastor Jeff

Hmmm... this hit me good today. I believe this... I have seen this... I feel like I am right in the middle of these two seasons right now. I have always felt that God wanted me to finish my degree and that I was finishing up school in obedience to Him. I have (and have had for 10 years) a great job. I didn't need my dregree. But I knew in my heart that God wanted me to do this... and that he would bless me for it. SO, here I am... DONE! I have my degree (well, I haven't gone through the ceremony, but i have the credits) and now I am ready to jump into that season of blessings, right?!?!

The hard part of it is that we don't know when or how God will bless us for being obedient. I would like to be immediately blessed for my obedience, and in my way. BUT I know that this is not usually the case. I have no idea how or when GOD will bless me for my obedience in finishing school. But He will-- in His time and in His ways. And I know that i have already been blessed in so many ways!

I am thankful for every blessing that God gives me-- I don't deserve any of them.

Blessings. The ones we want are so different than the ones we get sometimes. But when we look back, we realize why God sent different blessings than the ones we requested. Not always easy, but always worth waiting to see what God will send our way. Take heart, the blessings are coming and some are already here. The blessing of time is huge and right now you have so much more time than when you were in school. I cannot wait to see how God will use that blessing of time in your life. I love how God keeps us guessing.

Ephesians 1 tells us we are blessed with every SPIRITUAL blessing in the heavenlies. Was the leaning and life change the blessing?
