This time of the year is usually hard for me. I tend to contemplate on a lot of what has happened during the year before and the years before that around the months of April and May. These months have been surrounded by situations such as dealing with big decisions, issues, or just “stuff” that needed to be addressed. Some of these situations were caused by me, such as resigning from my job of 6 years in April 2005; Some were caused by what I believe to be God’s life shaping, such as being laid off from my job in May 2006; and some were caused by people, such as the anguish contemplating whether I will play professionally with prophetic people again due to lack of follow up. There is a shifting that seems to be occuring again. Life is not stable and some things are dying and changing.
Lift up your head because when the old is shed, when the cocoon is broken, when the winter pruning is final, new growth will arise and change will be evident. This is not a time to despair, but a time to contemplate, meditate, and rejoice in all that will come.
