Seasons, the seasons that we're here...

Let’s discuss seasons. Understanding, reflecting, and asking God about the purpose of each season you are experiencing is essential. Like seasonings, they are here to add a little flavor to your character and reveal parts of your life that require healing. There are several spiritual seasons we all experience as women. Of course, your seasons differ from other women, so a comparison is discouraged. However, recognizing your season can help you pray and prepare for what God is doing. This clarity can help bring more peace in your decision making and the direction you choose to go.

Earth experiences four distinct and captivating seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, each unfolding at varying intervals depending on the geographical location. In the northern hemisphere, Spring commences in March, followed by Summer in June, Fall in September, and Winter in December. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, Spring begins in September, Summer in December, Autumn in March, and Winter in June. Every season serves a unique purpose in nurturing diverse aspects of Earth. Additionally, each season adheres to a specific cycle and rhythm that significantly influences the planet's development. These seasonal changes collectively form part of a larger, interconnected pattern.


Similar to the changing seasons, our lives follow a purposeful and rhythmic pattern that can guide us towards the direction intended by a higher power. It's important to note that the timing and duration of each season may vary individually. These spiritual seasons facilitate personal growth and opportunities for new beginnings, akin to seasoning that enriches and adds flavor to an otherwise bland existence.

A drought season can show up as feeling depressed or disconnected from God. You may feel hopeless and have difficulty connecting to God's promises.


A season of rest can help you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Things start to slow down and become less hectic. The need to put effort into certain things may decrease and become less critical. This season may be a season of surrender, a season of letting go and letting God.


A waiting and patience season can show up as closed doors, like rejection, and feel like you’re not getting the things you pray for or hope for.


A growth season can help you feel closer to God. You may discover new insights into the word of God. Also, new strategies and protocols become clear to you. You may start to look at old problems with a different mindset and break strongholds that have caused much pain and trauma: your choices and decision-making change for your good and those around you.


A preparation season may give you the desire to pray more, study God’s word, and seek God’s direction and will for your life. In addition, this season may push you to learn new skills, meet new people and gain more wisdom to shift your belief systems.


An affliction is something that causes pain or suffering: A season of affliction can show up in your body, mind or spirit. There may also be a dark night of the soul or an ego death


A season of productivity can look like open doors, new opportunities being presented, achieving long-standing goals, miracles, and breakthroughs happening all at once. A season of productivity is when your harvest is growing and on its way.


Once God reveals what season, you are in and what is required of you to make the most out of this season, ask God to help you see the drawbacks and hazards in your current season. Each season comes with a pitfall if you are not careful. For example, a season of productivity can bring on pride and the hustle and bustle attitude where you start to focus too much on ventures and not enough on prayer and the word of God. Each season teaches you something about yourself and the world around you. Each season requires prayer, reflection, preparedness, awareness, and an overall balance of your masculine and feminine energies.


If you reside in an area that snows during the winter, different tools, resources or utensils are required to keep you warm. For instance, you may need a hat to cover your head, gloves to protect your hands, boots to cover your feet, and a warm coat to cover your body. If you don’t have these items, you will experience winter more harshly, which can most likely result in frostbite. Like on Earth, there is also a winter season after every fall or setback in your life. If you are not prepared, you'll find yourself cold and freezing after every "fall" or setback, but if you prepare for the winters by having a "warm coat, gloves and a hat" (faith, tenacity, and a positive attitude) then the winters won't be so harsh. And because they are inevitable, you'll at least be prepared to go through them without becoming cold and frostbitten (bitter and callous)


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 

There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven:

 A time to be born and a time to die,

A time to plant and a time to uproot,

A time to kill and a time to heal,

A time to tear down and a time to build,

A time to weep and a time to laugh,

A time to mourn and a time to dance,

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

A time to search and a time to give up,

A time to keep and a time to throw away,

A time to tear and a time to mend,

A time to be silent and a time to speak,

A time to love and a time to hate,

A time for war and a time for peace.


Reflect on what season you are in and how you can honor and grow in this season, regardless of how uncomfortable it may seem. These seasons are necessary for growth and your highest good; here to add something sweet and sometimes something spicy to your plate of L.I.F.E.
