'Tis Only A Season

Once again, I know this blog is moving incredibly slowly and casually. I do hope this hasn't annihilated any readers. I've tried to keep things moving a bit. Some posts have been my work and some are cited as from others. The effort is not as futile as meets the eye. I've made some technical changes to the site several times. I've also created a Twitter account (@UnambiguVision) for your convenience. Be sure to Follow! Finally, I have written nearly a dozen half-written essays of epic proportions. I have never really had writer's block until now. Writing, speaking, and running a good site takes time and energy that my body doesn't have right now. I will keep this site moving as I can and I hope you'll remain a reader! I have an inkling it gets better! Yet, I make no apologies.

Why?

There is a season for everything.

Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes chapter 3:

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace. (NIV)

kConsider, my friends, that this might not be my season for writing or speaking out to a larger audience. This might instead be my season of rest, mending, growth, building, and healing.

Remember that Joseph spent a season in prison before his season of freedom and leadership. Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness before freeing Israel for a season of rejoicing. Paul and John both spent time in the desert seeking God before their respective seasons of ministry.

Yes, this may be my time of testing, learning, and preparation. Who can say for sure? God works in mysterious ways.

I will put my trust and hope in Him. I will not fret. After all, 'tis only a season.
