Reading this post this morning was definitively divine timing. Thank you, Pastor Chris, for this boost and reassurance that the exhaustion and frustration are signs that it's time for a new thing. Thank you, Jesus, for bringing me to this post I needed it.
I feel as if I've been stuck in a winter season forever. Despite many prophecies and promises my husband and I haven't received a breakthrough yet. We try to trust in God's plans for us, but sometimes it is challenging. It feels as if heaven is silent and we receive no guidance, so it is hard to know what steps we should take. We honestly won't survive without out brothere and sisters from our cell groups.
Pastor Chris, thanks so much for a beneficial and timely article. I needed to read it today as I seek God's wisdom regarding whether it is time to end a season and embrace something new.
Excellent piece Chris. When I am wrestling with something and wanting resolution Psalm 46 is helpful, especially verse 19–Cease striving (literally, “let go”) and know that I am Go. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted
Sometimes season change is thrust upon us. An early example for me was one spring morning on the farm in Michigan I did a tare thing so early in the morning. I went to my parents bedroom and knocke on the door. When my Dad answered I asked what we were hoing to do today. He said, You're going to school. I responded, I don't think so. When he asked, Why? I replied, Just look outside. Overnight a winter storm brought maybev8 inches of snow and school was vlose for the rest of the week.
But much more recently my wife died, now three years past. Many have spouses who die. But for myself I had been disabled gor seven and a half years, barely able to help my wife in many things. The real shock was within an hour before my wife's passing my disability ended. Shovk to me, to my family, to my doctor. There is no known answer except for a miraculous healing from God. Sometimes today I still seem as unprepared as I was then. Yes, I'm driving again, even working a job as much as 35 hours a week when it's available. You're right. New seasons may come very unexpectedly. Many is the time I continue to pause, pray, and reflect. Often enough those close to me will hear me say, I don't even inow what I'm doing.
The verse I have claimed for these days, this season is (in my words), Man makes plans. God directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9

Great article with solid advice.
Excellent article. Perhaps you’re best ever. Thank you.
Thanks, Pastor Brad. I appreciate you.
This is so relevant and well written. Thank you!
Sometimes the hardest part about the changing of seasons is actually the simplest — letting go.
Great article
