Have you ever been stuck in a season, for what amounts to way to long. A season of dread, or growth, or sorrow, or intense joy, or expectation, or grief? 

We have all been there. I tend to get stuck in the pruning season more often than any other up until today. There are seasons of our life that seem to go on for ever and some that don’t last long enough.

If you are anything like me you have not been obedient during some of these seasons because you know this to be true in your own life.

The Lord is asking me to do something right now that I am reluctant to do because every time I get into something I totally enjoy, for some reason it comes to an end sooner than I expect or want. Then I go through a long period of time learning and waiting again for that next thing.

For the length of time it takes to prepare for the thing He is asking me to do, and the short length of time He allows it to commence, makes it hard for me to put any effort into it.

What I need to keep in mind, always, is that the little things are what gets me ready for the big things. They teach me specific things that I apply into the larger drawn out things.

He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

Although I have not had anything alive for a drawn out period of time yet, I know something is coming. I am getting ready for the harvest.

My Visionary Living Advise 💦 for you this week is to allow Jesus to get you through your current season by allowing Him to guide you into your vision from Him.

Lord, teach me to be OK with the planting season, the plucking season and the pruning season. Help me to still be in awe of You when each of them comes to an end. In Your mighty Name I pray this Lord, amen. 

Join me this week in Midlife Ministry Makers to discuss the three seasons (Planting, Plucking and Pruning) Woman of Vision tend to go through and how to survive them.
