Faithful Friday / "New Season" Poem

I love fall! It's my favorite time of year. Fall is a nice reminder that things don't always stay the same. The cool crispness in the air after the smothering heat of summer is a sweet caress to our lungs and to our emotions.

I wrote this poem called "New Season" last year and felt like it was the appropriate time to share it, because I feel like we have just entered a "new season" spiritually. Hope you enjoy!

"New Season"

When it's cloudy here -

It's hard to imagine

The sun could be shining anywhere . . .

And so it is in our lives.

The lie we believe

Is that things will never change . . .

That it will always be stormy and cloudy.

But God has spoken

And He says,

"Look ahead My Child . . .

You have absolutely nothing to dread."

So, chin up, face to the Son

Get ready - get ready!

It's time to run . . .

Run into your future, fearless and strong!

In My Presence each day is where you belong!

Nothing to dread - because all fear is dead!

All lies are revealed

Truth isn't concealed! Janiah's Fall Sugar Cookies

So, rise up my Child -

It's over! Finally, it's over!

New season, I embrace

Thank You, Jesus, for Your unfailing GRACE!

I would never have made it -

Never survived!

The pain, the trauma, all of the lies . . .

Tears I've cried, You've caught in Your bottles,

Sleepless nights, in agony, beyond words to describe,

But My God is faithful, and His Word now is,

"Don't look back - Arise! I've got You. Look forward. You're right on track!

New Season! New Season! I shout from my heart!

Thank You, Jesus, for carrying me from the start!

I've learned so much,

Grown so strong,

Bring Glory to Your name is my favorite song!
