Goodbye August, Hello September
Sep 3, 05:57 AM
I remember last year, how I was different from who I am now. Seasons pass and change, but we’re always able to recognize their arrival. I feel that I’ve changed much within the past year, I feel that I’ve learned much from the situations that have happened in my life.
I can imagine myself last year, being so “broken hearted,” I can remember last year being one of the best experiences in my life. Times I’ve spent alone to reflect and pray, the times I’ve spent with good friends and good company, the times where it was plain fun, and the times when I’ve done something stupid. (Like drop my wheel into a ditch blocking a driveway and preventing over thirty people from getting home… it was a great night.)
Last year, around this time, I took time to pause. To see where my heart was and where it is. I’ve come to know that it’s in Jesus. This is still something I wonder about; how I could love my God and never see Him. There are so many instances when I know that my hope in Him was the only thing that kept me from falling apart. I know for sure that He’s around, I know for sure that He’s taking care of me.
I spent time in peace at parks, to hear the rustle of the leaves. I spent time at the beach to hear the crash, fizzle and roars of the waves. I felt as if I needed to know who I was and who I wanted to be. I know who I am now, and I know who I want to be. Summer rolled around, then fall came and I knew that I had changed. There were leftovers of how I used to be, and I can remember how things affected me.
This year summer’s almost passed, fall is here to come. I know my heart’s ready, I know it’s in the right place. I’m further waiting for many seasons of change.
