Seasons

To say I've been gone a while would be a complete lie. I abandoned this blog completely. I never deleted it though just because I love the name of it so much. The title of this post is seasons because i'm going through a season in my life that has inspired me to write again. Initially I started the blog to focus on my passion for fashion but let's face it, what's new about that. If you google fashion blogs there is definitely not a shortage there. Is my love of fashion dead? Nah that's as much a part of me as anything else, but instead of soley focusing on things that fulfill the outer man, I want to direct this in a way that touches and reaches to a deeper place. If we were all honest with ourselves and each other it would be safe to say that many of us are in places with more questions than answers. At crossroads, the road runs straight for a while but sooner or late in all of our lives we find ourselves at forks in the road. There is never one fork in the road either. Life is filled with them and for some reason I find that the older I get the more challenging and difficult the forks become. A lot of times instead of making any move at all, we stand still. Maybe it's fear holding us back. Too afraid to make a turn. Fear of failure, fear of succeeding, just plain fear. So we and when I say we maybe I just mean ME stay silent. Hold it in. Live through the experiences of others, and while we certainly can learn a thing or two from the stories of others it's through our own life that we truly learn. I can listen to songs and the passion can be felt through the music because the person singing it felt the pain of the journey and decided to make a move at the fork in the road. And it can be so real to someone who has gone through it as well but if it hasn't then it's just another pretty song. How could you be truly healed if you have never felt pain? Well that;s where I am at right now. But hey this isn't about wallowing in self pity, or anything like that. It's about coming to the realization that we can only truly be healed when we recognize the need to be. So I hope whoever reads this will join me in my healing process and maybe be inspired to not stand still, to make a move and ultimately allow the Lord to see you through. but you have to be willing, and that's the hard part.
