Better Times Are Yet To Come

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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
