Are you feeling like you are just
hanging-in-there, waiting for your big break to come, a situation to turn
around, or life to offer you more than you are getting?
Don’t give up. Sometimes life means treading water for a
while or a desert season. However, don’t
forget that there is beauty in the desert.
Deserts are filled with scrub, brush, and
dust, but they are also filled with Spring-times of flowers on top of 40-foot
Saguaro cacti and Prickly Pear cacti, flittering cactus wrens, jack-rabbits,
and deer. Even the barren desert in the
winter offers views that might take your mind from focusing on the twigs to the
washes running with seldom seen water that melted from the mountains
surrounding the desert.
Whether arid and dry or budding with new
life, where is your focus? Focus can
turn the scene from desolate to amazing.
Wherever you are in life, right now, take the time to focus on gaining a
new vantage point, one that makes your view a bit more encompassing of what the
present time really means for you. Is it
a time to re-new your strength? Is it a
time to mourn, grieve, and heal? Is it a
time to take that next step in faith and keep chugging?
Whatever your season of life, don’t forget
that this season will not last forever.
Milk it for all it is worth! Even
if that means it is just a season to re-group and re-focus….there is no reason
not to seek the Lord for where you are
and for where you are going. He will
lead you to your next step!
