I noticed leaves on trees changing color today. August 22nd and I’m not quite ready for summer to be over yet; this was a most beautiful season and even though I look forward to the next I desire to enjoy my last few moments before we move on and things are never the same again. This life we live is ever changing, we move from season to season and leave behind things that we can never quite get back, but as we walk this path the change can be something lovely to behold. The change of this season started coming a few months ago near the start of this summer when graduation hit and the path for a few of my friends was clearly to go out rather than stay here, as I sought direction and purpose on my own path I found people who brought me closer to God and through this summer my eyes have become more opened to see God’s beauty and in my heart I’ve found greater joy in simply living my life. This path is one I started walking almost a year ago and one that I’m not remotely close to being finished with if ever, but today the scenery seems to be changing all around me and I’m still holding on to this old view that I’ve fallen so dearly in love with. But I keep walking, with my eyes open wide and as these last few moments of summer find their end I cherish them, knowing in my heart that the next time they come around everything will be different because “to everything there is a season, a time for purpose under heaven”* and I will not be one to hold God back from what He has planed next. People leave, relationships change but God is faithful and we must keep moving, even when were not so sure about the new view coming our way.
*Ecclesiastes 3:1
