Better Times Are Yet To Come

Remember the blessings of the last season but don't mourn over it.

The very first thing that you must know is that it's going to be okay.

Change can make you feel like you're loosing air to breathe, your mind fills with thoughts of torment, your heart races. Without change, we will never know what we are capable of. We will never know what else was out there.

This week, I'm speaking to myself honestly. When an end is coming to a season, it's just weird, it hurts. My season is that, at my school, there was this Bible study that was given to me to lead my junior year. It first began my sophomore year. It totally changed my life, it just seemed so great. God had given me so many ideas and vision. When it was handed down to me, there was so much expectation not only for me but for what would come of the bible study. It wasn't the same. There were so many factors that played into why I felt like the Holy Spirit was speaking to me to step away.

Jesus says that He is our lamp to our feet and light to our path. With those lights, He is guiding us with His light, truth, and love. We may feel like we are surrounded by darkness and we might be, but Jesus is with us.

How to know a season is ending.

The very first thing is that you will notice is that there are different people. With new people in a situation, they bring different things that God has given them. The atmosphere will seem odd due to the new talents and gifts of those people. Another hint that a season is ending is that some object outside of your control is present. Perhaps someone had a car wreck, maybe you unexpectedly got a job promotion. What ever it is, because of that new thing that has entered your life, old routines of life and emotions are different. Going along, to know that a season is ending, things just aren't working out like they used to. The most important factor to knowing that something is changing in your life is that you have to listen to the Holy Spirit. He is your guide and will tell you in your spirit.

What to do in the time of transition.

In this time of transition into your new season, you have to run to Jesus. Let your mind be contently filled with the truth of Jesus. A lot of times, the enemy will send fear to you, because better is yet to come! When the devil tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, He fought back with scripture. Keep your close Christian friends around you for support of this time. Be thankful for what blessings came from your last season, but don't mourn over it. Every season that you go through has a precise purpose and is part of a divine plan for your life! Be embracing what's to come and pray for that season. I know that sounds weird, but be praying for whatever worries you have, proclaim that blessings will be more abundantly than the last!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
