I like to think of my life like a tree. The older I get, the more pruning I get. I may add things to my life that weigh me down or break me in areas, but when I learn to let go, I grow even stronger. I stand tall in storms and even when I seem to droop a bit the sun(and the Son of God) picks me up and makes me happy again. There is a season. Some seasons I flourish and reap my hard work. Sometimes God gives to me and takes away - just to make room for better things in my life. As the Season is changing I am learning to be Thankful for what God has given me, and the amount of time he has given me. I have been following him closely this year and I'm more than ready to grow how he needs me to. Maybe this next season is the season I struggle for a while - then flourish. No matter what - I'm not going to let anyone, or anything cut me down. I'm going to let God remove from my life the branches he wants to..so that I can grow up much stronger..

8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
