Different Seasons

I am sure some of you are shocked to see a blog post. Some may be thinking "about time."  Others may say "oh she is back to blogging...again."  Some may say "I wonder how long she will blog this time."  Others may not even notice. 

God brings us through different seasons of our life's. We can go through a season of living on the mountain or going through the valley. We can have seasons of walking with Him or falling away from Him. We can have seasons of going back to school or having a career or having children. We can have seasons where our children are now grown and moving to their own homes. We can have seasons of blogging and seasons of not blogging.

During my season of not blogging my family faced many blessings and a few losses. Within a month and a half my hubby lost three members of his family. His dad went to be home with the Lord. We were truly blessed that God allowed us to make it to Indiana before He called his dad home. My hubby then lost his aunt and his guardian that raised him from birth. That month and a half was a tough season.  Although it was tough it did bring healing for my husband and other members of his family.

Even though we lost loved ones, God poured His blessings upon us as well
