Hope Looks Different in Every Season

Some seasons of life require more of us than others. More patience, more strength, more faith, and sometimes more emotional energy than we anticipated. And, there are some seasons we would gladly skip if given the opportunity!

In Season of Selah, I write about four seasons: Planting, Watering, Cultivating, and Yielding. Each season has its purpose, but I must admit that yielding is looking particularly attractive to me these days! I've done some planting, watering, and cultivating. Now, where is the fruit?! I'm tired of waiting, but that's a story for another day. 😂

I'm currently working on something that means a great deal to me. I've invested months of planning, preparation, prayer, and resources into it. And while I've made progress, I've also experienced disappointment. Things aren't happening quite the way I imagined. I believe God is working, but I wouldn't mind a little preview of what He's doing. Because....whew!

I've had to remind myself that just because I'm not seeing the results I hoped for doesn't mean nothing is happening. Sometimes I'm so focused on what hasn't happened that I overlook what has.

While I am doing all of this planting, watering, and cultivating, I've had to ask myself: How am I taking care of ME? Because what good is a beautiful harvest if we've exhausted ourselves physically and emotionally trying to get there?

Hope looks different in every season. Even this one. Take care of yourself along the way.

A Change in Plans Doesn't Mean a Change in Purpose

Have you ever stepped out to do something you truly believed you were supposed to do, only to discover that things weren't unfolding quite the way you imagined?

I'm a planner. Literally! (Insert shameless plug for Very Blessed Events here! 😂) I've created timelines down to the minute, coordinated moving parts, and learned how to make things happen. Planning comes naturally to me.

But one thing I've learned over the years is that even the best-laid plans don't always unfold the way we envisioned. And when you're accustomed to planning everything, learning to adjust can be a challenge.

I'm learning that being committed to a purpose doesn't mean I have to be attached to a particular plan or expected outcome.

This is where the power of the pause becomes important.

Taking time to pause, reflect, and realign gives us an opportunity to examine our expectations, reconsider our approach, and recognize when adjustments may be necessary.

In Season of Selah, I write about releasing the need for a specific outcome. That doesn't mean we stop planning, preparing, or believing. It means understanding that we can do our part and still leave room for God to determine how things unfold.

Maybe the approach needs adjusting. Perhaps the timeline needs reconsidering. Or maybe we simply need to release the expectation that everything will happen exactly as we imagined.

Realignment doesn't always mean changing your destination. It may simply mean reconsidering the path you're taking to get there.

A change in plans doesn't mean a change in purpose.

Not everything will unfold the way we imagined. Give yourself grace for the unexpected turns.

Not all rest is physical.

The past two weekends have been emotionally tender for me as I reflected on the anniversaries of my mother's passing and her funeral service.

My calendar was wide open. No obligations, and even a few events I would have enjoyed attending. But mentally and emotionally, I knew I needed something different. So I intentionally chose to do absolutely nothing. And it was restorative.

In Season of Selah, I use the illustration of an overfilled box. Everything inside may belong there, but when too much is pressed into the same space, nothing fits the way it should.

I've come to recognize that having room on my calendar doesn't always mean I have the capacity to fill it.

Sometimes rest isn't about being physically tired. Sometimes it's about giving our minds and emotions an opportunity to rest, too.

Take a moment and ask yourself: What kind of rest do you need right now?

In my book, Season of Selah, I wrote, “We often mistake movement and busyness for productivity, blurring the line between the two.”

We've become so accustomed to being busy that we often mistake activity for productivity. But being in constant motion doesn't necessarily mean we're accomplishing anything. We may just be wearing ourselves out.

I remember working on a project that was taking much longer than I expected. What seemed fairly simple when I started turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated. I was tired and frustrated. But instead of stepping away, I just kept at it, becoming more and more frustrated.

Finally, I stopped and prayed, “Lord, give me a good idea.” And I heard the Lord say, “Go to bed.” I remember saying, “What?” And again, I heard, “Go to bed.” So I did!

The next day, when I returned to that same project, I had a great idea. What had been so difficult the day before was suddenly very easy. I was able to finish the project, not only quickly, but well.

Rest is not a reward for exhaustion. Sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is pause.

Join the conversation! If this resonates with you, like, share, and leave a comment.

You can pause and still be productive.
