In time

Embrace the current season of your life.  Gabrielle Blair

{sigh} Can I get a witness?  
Some seasons of life are certainly easier to embrace than others.  But if we can learn to embrace the harder seasons, the darker seasons, the rainier seasons, and the painful seasons as well as the joyful seasons then we become better versions of ourselves.  It is in the harder seasons that we are really refined in character and where we grow as a person.  So if we could embrace it rather than push it away then we make beautiful things in ourselves and with other people.  Embracing the seasons of life, ALL of them, reminds me of, "Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end."  In time everything is made beautiful when given the space and attention it deserves.  Embrace your seasons, ALL of them, and watch God transform them into beauty in your life.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
