Part 1 of Seasons: Facing changes in your life and thriving through them

Seasons of life that some of us are facing:  entering retirement, kids getting married, raising teenagers, aging, etc

If you regret the season that just passed, you will miss the beauty and fun of the season you are in.
Every individual experiences a particular season differently.

It’s important to discern what God’s agenda is for the new season.
And it’s important to embrace the new season rather than resisting it.
Recognize that other people are going through a change in circumstances, too.  This allows us to give grace to others.

What happened to the Children of Israel after they left Egypt?
- They learned to trust God who provided for their needs (manna)
- They are entering into a relationship with God
- They received the laws, so that they have structure and know where the lines are.
- They built an idol and found out God is not pleased by that
- God led them (pillar of cloud and fire)
- God gave them a way to govern themselves
- It took them 40 years to transit from Egypt to the land of milk and honey because they had not yet learned the lessons from God.

The season you are in might not be a fun season, but it is a purpose-filled season.  The change in seasons is inevitable, and necessary.  We have to be wise enough to adapt to a new season.
