Through the Seasons

Whether you struggled with post-partum yourself or just walked through a tough season, this episode contains tools to help you walk through it.

In this episode, I share about my post-partum journey with my son. While my story and feelings are specific to me, I believe that God can bring redemption to other stories through the lessons of mine. I pray that my story helps heal broken parts of your heart and gives you the tools needed for upcoming seasons that might be hard. 

When walking through a hard season, you HAVE to let people in even when it is hard and scary. You have to let people in your life that are ready to give you life and combat the enemy with God’s truth. You need people in your life that are not in spiritual pajamas. 

As you walk through hard seasons, you need to fight your battles with worship music and God’s Word. 

As you look back on the tough season you have walked through, have God reveal to you where you were and where you are now. 

The most growth and beauty happens in the valley. The mountaintop is beautiful where you see everything and see what you went through to be where you are now.  

Satan can and will attack in the craziest of ways. 

3 Things that Helped Me Navigate this Season: 

• Counseling:

• specifically Christian counseling

• Proverbs 1:5

• Proverbs 19:20 

• Counseling doesn’t mean someone you pay but also going to mentors and leaders within the (capital C) church that you can trust.

• Small Groups: 

• Meeting with a group of ladies away from your normal life to discuss a Bible curriculum 

• Small groups are where life happens and it is a place to fill others up while you get filled up. 

• We aren’t meant to do life alone:

• Ecclesiastes 4

• Genesis 2 

• Find a hobby!

• Find hobbies that fill your heart and give you a little escape. 

• We are meant to have abundant life.

• John 10:10

The enemy will try to make us feel secluded and alone but that just isn’t true. We are meant to do life together! 

The book I mentioned throughout the episode: Good Boundaries and Goodbyes

The study I mentioned: 40 Days Through the Bible

The Lord allows us to go through things not to be weak but to be strong in the Lord and what He is doing. He will show you over and over where you are supposed to walk and go in the path He has before you. The Great Commission tells us to GO AND TELL! We are meant to go and tell others in the season we are walking through. 

Just step into the path before you because He is here and ready to go with you!

We so often try to tell God to go on our schedule rather than His when He is calling us. 

Stop looking to the future so much because we often miss where the Lord has us right now. 

If we wait for our time, we will miss the nourishment for our soul that we so desperately need from the things and people God has put in our path. 

If the Lord has planted something in you, it might take a while for it to grow or bring about fruition but it can start to show over time. 

Bad seasons happen but they usually bring about our why for the Lord. 

The Lord speaks to us in whispers usually. 

Ask God to renew your why! 

God wants a personal relationship with you! He wants the personal aspect with you! Relationships with God is what we are meant to have - not religion. It’s love God, love others and bring others to Christ after you steward a beautiful relationship with the Lord. 

God has a ministry right in front of you so don’t look too far into the future to where you miss the ministry right in front of you. 

If you don’t have a why, then it is all almost for nothing because your why signifies your relationship.

Welcome to Through the Seasons Podcast where we dive into different seasons of life to see how God is good. 

I’m so excited to share the mountaintops and even valleys of seasons, but mostly I am so excited to see how God works through this podcast in whatever way He desires with each season that passes.

So let's hang out in a way that is totally different than I am used to, but remember that I am walking through this season with you, and I am so thankful to be here.
