A time to plant and a time to uproot. When I think of this verse I think of a couple of things. I think of a person with crops and harvesting season. Then I think of a time when God asks us to do something and asks us to move out of our comfort zones and plant ourselves in another situation, which may not always be as comfortable or as widely accepted. Our family has recently been undergoing some changes and God is directing us in another direction than we were going. For many years we attended the same church fellowship and have felt recently that God was directing us else where. We are still in the transition stage and trying to figure out where God has us and is directing us. It is amazing what you learn from His word and His direction during times like these. And I think that's another reason God has been revealing this passage to me lately. To give me confirmation that he is working and we are in a particular season of life where we are being uprooted from what seemed comfortable and now we are in the waiting and patient stage to see where he is directing. Oh how great is he who will direct my path and will guide my husband and our family to a new season in life.
On to a lighter note it is my DMIL's birthday today and we have been able to spend the greater portion of the day with her, what a blessing it is to have family so close and be able to spend time with them in fellowship! Happy Birthday Christy! I Love you!
