This morning after worship I was taken back to various seasons in my walk with Christ. I realized that in each season change took place in what seemed like a twinkling of an eye. I've learned from those times that God is Sovereign and reigns majestically over my destiny. Lately, I have had changes that seemed minor and some appeared drastic. Both types took me into yet another new place in Christ. A higher place in worship stemmed from those changes. I am now faced with the changing of yet another season. But it looks, sounds and feels very different. Recently, my way of thinking, my way of ministering, my way of dealing with people has changed. The key word- My. As I vowed to answer my ministerial calling - I also vowed to make Christ my Lord and Savior. This is a place we speak of but usually stubbornly refuse to embrace. Well, I decided to embrace his Lordship and because of it- some people and places are no longer a part of my life. They are now in a past season,although their imprint in my life will still exist. As my season change takes place I've realized that there are also people the enemy attempted to use for my demise. However, God is the Master Designer of my destined path. He has a blueprint drawn up for each of my seasons in this life. So- Nah! Devil you lose.
In this new season, I'm carrying with me my healing from past hurts, wisdom, knowledge and definitely faith with works. This season is unlike pastimes where I lugged pain around with me. It's no wonder in those times I seemed weighed down with unnecessary burdens and unfounded frustration.
The beauty of my new season is flavored with the joy of the Lord. My hand is now set to the plow for Family of Love Ministries. The vision is yet for an appointed time. My time is now! All my yesterday seasons, are just that in the past. I cannot carry burdens when God specifically asked that I cast my cares on him. I decree that in this season of change the provisions of the Father are ready to be issued to me, God's chosen vessel, his daughter.
Now that I've learned the beauty of a seasonal change I'm ready to journey to my new place in Him. The place where my assurance lies. The place where my provision dwells. The place where I can seek the Heart of God not just his hand. The place where only those assigned to assist with the vision can dwell with me. I thought I would feel alone in this season, but I'm not God has prepared others to walk with and under gird us in this season.

Val, this is really beautiful. Are you sure you don't want to write an inspirational book or anything like that. I would honestly buy it. You write with passion. And you definitely seems as though you're writing from whatever is within you and it's coming from the heart. I'm telling you Valencia, you could do this and make some money. Especially if this is something that you love to do. Why not get paid for it at the same time.
