A New Season of Life

Have you ever felt that you just can’t give of yourself anymore because you just simply have nothing to give? I’ve actually felt that many times on the mission field, but I continue to give and give. I’ve given of my time, I’ve given of my money, I’ve given of my family, I’ve given of my husband, I’ve given of my wisdom, I’ve given of my whole life. Now it may sound that I’m bitter about giving everything, but I’m certainly not. I believe that’s what God has called ME to do, that is to give of my whole self, and that which surrounds ME! I do it with gladness.



But I’m going through a season of life, where God is saying,

“Now it’s time to rest, lay your burdens aside, come to the green pastures, and receive from me. I have so much to tell you, I want to fill you up until you’re overflowing. I want water to come out of your dry faucet. I want to love on you. I want to spend time with you, just you. I want to heal those areas in your heart that hurt. In your weakness, let ME be your strength. I’ve given you a wonderful husband that is being used of me to serve you during this time. It’s time for you to rest. This time is for you given to you by your Heavenly Father, who knows ALL things. I’m taking good care of Carmelinda too! She’s also my precious daughter. I love you more than you’ll ever know and I will take care of you, the ministry and your family all at the same time. I can do that, you know, because I am God! You don’t need to worry or be anxious, REST, that’s all I want you to do right now. Take a deep breath and let this season of life be a season that will bring about change, restoration, relaxation, joy, gladness, happiness, peace, and so much more that you can’t even dream of! I love you, Gloria!”

Wow, amazing! Today marks a new season of life for me, one that I’ve longed for. I receive it as a gift from Him. Thank you, God! Let this new season begin!!!
