How easily one season transitions into another in Tennessee. Overnight...literally...we went from Summer's heat to Autumn's crisp coolness. We went from tank-tops and flip-flops to digging in the back of the closet for our warmest sweaters.
Although I love the weather changes and enjoy each season, I feel tired when the change first happens. Don't you? My mind says 'Yay! Time for a new season!' My body says, 'Go away...I'm not ready for this yet.'
I think this is the way we handle all of our 'new seasons' in life. It takes time to grow accustomed to a change...even if it's a change we wanted. I think it would do us a world of good if we understood this, and if we quit pressuring ourselves. The Lord made us resilient, but he made us human as well.
When a new season comes in your life, don't be disappointed if you need a minute to get used to it. Just rest in His Love, and in the knowledge that ALL seasons are in His Hands. Soon enough you will be running in the rain, or playing in the sun. Give yourself time.
