It's A New Season

The song “It’s a New Season” by Martha Munizzi currently describes my life. The lyrics say:

It’s a new season. It’s a new day.  Fresh anointing flowing my way.

It’s a season of power and prosperity. It’s a new season coming for me.

With every new season comes transition.  We are currently transitioning from summer to fall even though it feels like summer to winter.  The leaves are changing and falling.  It’s getting darker sooner. Stores are displaying Christmas items and decorations.  Change is coming.

I am moving into a new condo.  I’m moving to a new office at work.  I’m launching my website, blogs, and my business.  I’m transitioning to a new vendor at work. I joined a new board that supports getting healthcare to the underserved. We have a new pastor at church.

It’s a new season coming for me.  I don’t feel like I’m pursuing this new season, but I believe God has allowed it to come to me.  And all at once, I might add.  Why didn’t any of this happen while I was being a slug on the couch?  The answer is if it didn’t come all at once, then I would not need the help of my Savior.  There is no way in the world I could handle this new season if I didn’t have the Lord on my side.  Much prayer, praise, worship, and encouragement are helping me.  Casting my cares on Him because He cares for me (I Peter 5:6-7). I am being stripped like a butterfly out of a cocoon.  Experiencing things that I have never experienced before.

Seasons don’t ask us when they should change. They just do so like clockwork, yet we act surprised when the change comes as if we thought it would stay spring or summer all year round.  We need change, otherwise our lives would be like stale bread. So the message for you and for me is to embrace the change.

Note: Posting this blog on 4/22/2025. Quite ironic that I did not embrace the change of launching my website then. Also friends were talking to me on Sunday about embracing the change of how I celebrate my mom’s heavenly birthday. I am a creature of habit and often apprehensive of change but I did launch the site, and I am doing something different this year on my mom’s heavenly birthday. Change is constant so we must embrace it.  Reading what I wrote was actually preaching to myself. Amen, Michele! 😊
