Seasons

We all go through them. There are many different kind of seasons in life. There is childhood, adulthood, school, marriage, etc. All kinds of seasons. There are also seasons in our spiritual life. I am in a season in my spiritual that I myself cannot put into words. I don't have CD player in my van so I have listen to...cassettes...remember those? There is a song on one of them that describes my spiritual season right now. I heard again and said wow that's me.

Overcast
In my eyes
With the tears about to flow
As they rise
And I question all I know
So the feelings come
And the feelings go
In my storm

(Chorus)
It's just a rainy season
Sweeping across my sky
It's just a rainy season
And I don't need a reason to cry

Hurricane
Out of sea
Should the tempest dare to blow
Down on me
As I tread the undertow
So the waters ebb
And the waters flow
In my storm

(Chorus)

Circumstances
Like the changing of the wind
May whisper bitter secrets in my ear
Second chances
Will call my name again
It all depends on what I choose to hear

(Chorus)

The song is called "Rainy Season" written by Stephen Crumbacher. Taken from Eccl 3:1 & 4 "There is time for everything, and a reason for activity under heaven: (4) a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time dance," and Rom 12:15-16 "Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited."

My rainy season seems like it will never end. I hear God calling me but the wind, rain, thunder and lightning are so loud that I'm not quite sure what he is telling me. But, then again, maybe I'm only hearing what I want to.
