1.
Harvest Season

You are reaping benefits from the seeds you've planted in previous seasons! This also means you're in a very busy season that demands much of your time, energy, and strength. As you may feel overwhelmed from time-to-time, it's important to remember how blessed you are. It's time to be a good steward of what the Lord has given you. If you're feeling discouraged and stressed take it one day at a time knowing that God has given you much because He trusts you with much. The temptation in harvest seasons is to get so caught up in our blessings that we forget to cling to God and abide in Christ. It is extremely important not to become complacent in this season simply because things are going well. We still need to seek God like we would in any other season.

Wilderness Season

You are in a wilderness season. Seasons like this can be very lonely, especially if God appears to be silent. You're making it day-by-day but don't feel like you have enough. As you wait for God, fight the urge to shut down, get angry, or run away. Resist the lies this season tells you. Cling to God's truth: You are not alone. This is not the end. You are victorious in Christ. It may not seem like it, but the wilderness season is where God is the closest to us, right beside us in dark and depressing times. Psalm 34:18 reminds us: "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (ESV) Now is the time to press into the presence of God and understand that as no season lasts forever, this too shall pass.

Pruning Season

God is allowing test after test in your life because He is preparing you for something greater. He knows there are some attitudes, beliefs and even people you need to let go of before you enter your next season. This season may feel difficult and uncomfortable but allow it to complete its work in you. Like fire is used to mold gold; God is using these tests and trials to strip you of your old ways and shape you into the woman He's calling you to be. 1 Peter 1:7 tells us: "These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world." (NLT) How do you pass these tests and make it through these trials? Keep the faith! Click below to find free resources from Beloved Women especially created to encourage you in your pruning season.

Growing Season

You're in a season of change which brings its own unique challenges. You may be stretched to do things you've never done or go places you've never gone. God is stretching you because He wants to enlarge your capacity to handle what it is that He has next for you. The discomfort you feel in this season isn't because you're a failure, you're simply experiencing growing pain. So don't shrink back. Try new things, take risks, and don't be afraid to fail. You may stumble as you navigate unfamiliar territory but God will not let you fall. Psalm 37:23-24 tells us: "The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand." (NIV) God knows where you are and what difficulties this season can bring. So let go of doubt, keep growing, and trust Him.
