Winter is here…

WINTER is HERE….!

Winter is just one of the four Season’s in our Life.  I believe we can experience different Spiritual Season’s in life.  I also believe that, sometimes, like the natural environment and the land around us, we will transform and move into different Seasons…from one Season to the next.  We can experience Seasonal SHIFT’s in our lives. I believe right before the Winter season, we almost start to feel a drawing away of our soul—or going into “hibernation”.   Winter is a time where we “go inside” and find our refuge from the cold, where we are resting and drawing warmth from within.  Nature “freezes” – stops and is silent.  It is almost like nature practices a quiet  “pause” before it burst forth into all the bright light and  loud colors of Spring.  I believe I am in a Season of Winter in my life.  A time that I can practice the pause, reflect and go deeper with JESUS, a time of quieting my soul and reconnect with the desires that GOD has put into my heart.  A time to try to rediscover and refine what GOD’s true purpose is for me here on earth.    

Today I read so many things in my Bible…but came across a verse in Jeremiah 4…verse 19…

It said:  My bowels, my bowels! (Bowels could hold a meaning of “walls of my heart”-“distressed deep in my heart”).  I am pained at my very heart: my heart maketh a noise in me:  I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 

Here we know the prophet Jeremiah was distressed at the calamity he saw coming on his country.  However for me personally, this verse spoke to where my heart calamity is…dissatisfied with “life as usual”, and I feel that the Lord is leading me into a different area or season in my life now.  HE has spoken to me recently about NOT “losing my voice”, be “SILENT NO MORE” and to stay in my lane (my God given calling).  I believe that I have been pursuing whatever opportunities came into my life…all doing very “good” things but NOT my specific God thing. I have been very busy going from good thing to good thing…but never achieving my God given purpose that feeds my Soul.  In those things that kept me busy for someone else’s vision, I have LOST my own GOD given voice.

I believe that I, at this age and stage in my life, am going through what I will call a “Soul Transformation”.  I have been feeling drawn to wanting to spend more time alone to read my Bible, study, write, reevaluate and reflect on where I am at this point in my life.  I also believe that we will continued to become all that GOD wants for us, and continue to GROW in the knowledge of HIM.

Transitioning to TRANSFORMATION is never a quick and easy process, and I believe we go through several transformation in our lives…from childhood to puberty, from puberty to early adulthood, from adulthood to mature adult, from mature adult to elderly.  I believe throughout our lives we can experience all types of transformations in our Spirit, Soul and Body.

Romans 12:1- I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, HOLY, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service. 2 An be NOT CONFORMED to this WORLD: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good , and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

So as I pursue my continued “SOUL TRANSFORMATION this winter,  I believe I will have to press deeper into Jesus and HIS WORD to rediscover my PURPOSE.  I will have to submit and die to “self” and be TRANSFORMED by the “renewing of my mind” through HIS WORD!
