A New Season
Fall is my favorite season. The crisp air, warm cider, & the smell of homemade sourdough wafting through the kitchen — all wrapped in the beauty of golden leaves — make it such a special time of year. The long, hot summer days are behind us, & there’s a calmness that settles in.
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the seasons of my own life. I’ve been putting into practice many of the things I’ve written about in earlier posts, & I’m so grateful for how God has been working in my heart. I’m especially thankful for my church community & the relationships that continue to help me grow deeper in faith & connection.
If I’m being honest, I wasn’t always living out the spiritual habits I’ve shared here. I found myself watching too much secular television & being too harsh with my daughters — especially my middle one. But God’s grace has been at work. Through volunteering at my local church, joining weekly Bible studies, & being surrounded by strong women who lift me up when I’m down, I’ve experienced a love & peace from Christ that words can hardly describe. My life is centered around Jesus (seriously!), & I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
“Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9
As I enter this new season, I sense that my season of writing is coming to a close. The B2R Blog has fulfilled its purpose — it gave me a space to write, reflect, & grow, & it accomplished exactly what I hoped it would. My purpose now is to live as a godly woman, wife, & mother — serving my community & continuing to grow in wisdom through Jesus Christ, my Savior.
Though this journey isn’t over, I feel God leading me to shift seasons. The lessons, reflections, & growth have all been preparing me for this next chapter. It’s a time to live simply, love deeply, & walk closely with Him. As the leaves fall & the world slows, I’m choosing to do the same — resting in His presence & trusting His plan for what comes next.
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” - Isaiah 26:3
If you’ve been reading along through the seasons, thank you — your presence here has meant more than you know. My prayer is that as I step back from writing, these words continue to remind you of God’s faithfulness in your own story. Whatever season you’re in, may you feel His peace guiding you & His love surrounding you. Let’s keep walking with Him — one step, one season at a time.
