Fall into Faith

Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" 

FALL IS HERE!!! It's a new month AND a new season and I fully look forward to everything that the fall brings. The aroma, change in color of the leaves (although we don't see it much here in Texas), and most of all THANKSGIVING is right around the corner. We should always always give thanks to our Lord and Savior no matter the season, but this is the time where we begin to display that sense of gratitude in excess which we'll discuss closer to the holiday. Now, for many of us although the season has changed not much around us has changed. It's the same ole same ole so you may be wondering why even bother acknowledging this "change". I mean, it's still hot outside, the leaves are still green, the summer flowers are still in bloom, and etc. Well, this is the perfect opportunity for me to share a bit of wisdom passed to me when I began working in my field a few years ago that I think could be tweaked to fit this situation.

"You have to do the job before you are given the title"

In all honesty, I thought that person was absolutely insane for giving me that type of "advice". At the time it seemed to me as though I was undervalued and overworked. As I grew more in my field I was afforded many opportunities being promoted each year since I began working. My last promotion was one that opened my eyes to the aforementioned advice in that I was fulfilling the duties of the higher position yet I was not initially considered for the position. That was fine because that position was there waiting for me to fill it just like your new season is there waiting on you to enter into it. Some people (including yourself) may not think the conditions are right just yet but before you know it you'll wake up and everything has changed.

Although it is fall with regards to weather each of us are in our very own seasons. We may have gotten to a point where the seasons seem to blur together and right when you are fully adjusted to one season here comes the other. In other words you may be going through something now and before you can fully come of that you're going into something else. This feeling isn't unique to just you so don't feel secluded as if God has left you out because that isn't the case. Also, what you're going through someone has already been through it so don't be afraid to acknowledge your issues because God may very well have someone in place to help you on the merit of their own experiences. So fall into your season the right way - full of faith. Be encouraged, greater is coming so thank God in advance.
