Embrace The Seasons

In life we must understand that everyone in our life has a specific role that they play. You will have some that will test you, some may use you, some will love you, some will teach life long lessons . The important thing is learning how to pay attention to the people that brings out the best in you, they are very rare but amazing people who remind you how much we need each other .A lot of the times this is hard for most people to accept especially when you grow to love someone we get comfortable and entitled to their existence . This can be present weather in our friendships or with a significant other we never just want to let them go no matter how necessary it is. God has designed our life in such a unique way that he never needs our permission he decides for us when they go and when they stay. in every relationship especially in toxic relationships he is constantly showing us signs that we chose to ignore based on the story we have already written. In our mind we already have our future planned and it involves this friend or this significant other so there is no other option but hold on and continue to force things to work according to our plans.. In the midst of being stubborn God will allow us to go through somethings in these relationships not to harm us but to teach us valuable life lessons. you see everyone will not make it on your journey but the lessons we learn will last a life time.

Once upon a time not that long ago understand that there is a season for everything and every one was a struggle for me.I never had a lot of friends growing up but the few that I had I loved and treated them as family. My thought process led me to experiences that has hurt me but it also taught a lot of things about myself and how to accept people for who they are and not settle for the things i did not like. I learned that there will be times when you are only valuable to others because of what you can do and who you are to them, meaning that there is no special meaning of your existence in their life because the moment that they come across someone else that can do more or better you are no longer needed. In Addition, you also have the relationships that will really test you, takes you to new emotional levels that you never knew you could go to. The beauty about learning these lessons is to understand that this too is all just a part of the process of life . Our job is to not get so caught up or tight about the hurt and the disappointments from previous relationships it is our job to allow ourselves to feel and then take action to heal and move forward with the lessons learned.. We cannot allow ourselves to become so cold and blind that we miss out on those rare diamonds that are placed in your life for a greater purpose.

“Every season is one of becoming, but not always one of blooming. Be gracious with your ever-evolving self.
