Your Season of Growth

To be committed to memory:
Growth is the result of responding to change in a positive way.

To GROW means:
To Spring-Up, To develop to maturity, to be able to grow in a certain place or situation. To increase in size, to expand, to become, to increase in wisdom, to have an increasing influence, to become increasingly acceptable or attractive, progressive development, to grow toward or arrive at full stature mentally, physically, and socially.

Well I am glad winter is over and Spring is here. Living in Upstate NY, I don't care for the winter too much. I would much rather have it warm than cold. The change in seasons can be a great way to look at and compare the seasons of life. Have you ever noticed that there are periods of time in your life when everything seems to be going wrong, or bad things seem to happen all at once. You feel like your sort of in a rut, or maybe you have been waiting for things to change and you experience delay after delay.

Having worked with many people that have been layed off, there is the uncertainty of ever finding a job. A person could go several months before becoming re-employed. Resume after resume, interview after interview, but still no job.

You may have gone through or are still going through a season of winter, but winter will end spring will appear. You have grappled with trouble, calamity or hardship. You have met adversity head on in a spirit of determination and courage, and you are responding in a positive way, letting go of the past, and looking forward to the future.

Look for the trees to bloom, and the flowers to blossom. Change is happening in nature and yourself. It happens so slow that you don't even realize it. You are becoming a better person. You have learned to deal with life in a better way. You have become stronger, wiser, and more mature.

You have decided to respond to life in a positive way, no matter what difficult situation you face. You have decided that whatever the circumstance, you will do your best, and forget the rest. You are an example and model of a person that can overcome any adversity that appears before you.
You are ready for a new season of growth.
