Every season serves a purpose

Every season serves a purpose, I know we as humans don’t want to hear that. But each season creates an opportunity for you to excel.

Let’s be real here…I am always real in this blog and yes, sometimes the season you are in right now sucks!
Seriously, this might be the sucky season for you and your thinking, are you for real? Can anymore crap happen to me?

Did you think because you deserve it or better yet because you’re “a Christian” now it’s all going to be sunshine and roses?
No, sorry to bust your bubble, not happening.
There will be horrible seasons and there will be incredible seasons, because that my friends, is life.
I remember seeing this commercial and it says too much of a good thing is bad, he has one of something and it’s good but when a hundred show up, not so good.

Same thing if we only had sunny days, how would we appreciate them without knowing the storms?
You have to go through the really bad times so when the really good times come you are truly grateful for them.

Here’s the key, if while going through your bad season, are you cursing God? The universe? Or whoever you believe in? Are you saying why me? Do you lose your faith? Are you in the poor me phase?
The difference between a winner and a loser is how you get to the finish line, that’s it. Knowing that no matter what life throws at you, as long as you still believe, you will be okay. If you have faith, if you have a positive attitude, if you know that you will get through this, you’re a winner and you will succeed.

Now here comes my Willy Wonker, warning!
No sugar coating shit! Yes, even when you do all of that, even when you know things are going to get better, you will occasionally fall on your face.
You will let a coworker have it because he is disrespectful towards you. You have one person on the phone screaming at you and three on hold waiting to scream at you. You will be stuck at a job you can’t stand and thinking this is not my purpose! You will think when is this season coming? Come on, haven’t I waited long enough? You will cry and yell and throw your hands up (oh wait, that was my day yesterday!)

Yes, I am human, I fall down, I get frustrated, and yes, I ask when is my season coming? So on days like this, what I do is take a walk outside and I take a few deep breaths. I’ll listen to my music and I pray and then I give thanks. Yes, in the midst of all of this, I stop to give thanks. I give thanks for all my other blessings I have and for the incredible blessings that will be coming my way soon enough.
That is what gets me through my day and I know that when I get to church I will get a message. It will always be the one I need to hear, at the moment I need to hear it!

Yes, there will always be bad days in your life but you must be grateful for the little things like getting flowers, like having your girls say that they love you. It’s the little things that will help you get past the bad days.
So today my friends, remember if you’re having one of my days stop, breathe, give thanks and be grateful. It will all be alright, your season is coming, hold on, believe, trust, and have faith, that’s all you have to do and you will be okay because every season serves a purpose.
