One of my favorite Bible passages is Ecclesiastes 3:
“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.”
And I truly believe this with all my heart and soul. Lately I’ve been feeling a transition with myself. I used to enjoy being around friends all the time, calls, partying, seeking validation, posting and so much more. However, now that I am about to become a mother I am focusing on my solitude and finishing out the rest of my pregnancy strong.
Becoming a mother is such a spiritual transition that only those that are mothers understand. You become a new person physically, emotionally, and spiritually. To me, physical part has been the stretch marks and changes in my body overall. Emotional changes have been awe-inspiring moments. Every time I look down at my belly I am in shock that I’m growing a human being. Every time I feel a kick it gives me a boost to keep going. Spiritually I have grown closer to God, I am the closest to Him than I have ever been. He is my rock during this transitional period.
I’ve been enjoying this season of solitude because I know that it in a few weeks my life is going to change forever, so I have been preparing myself for that drastic change. However, writing has always been a passion of mine, not only to help myself, but to inspire others. That being said, I’ll continue to do so at a more intimate level through my website that was truly my first baby. Creating this site sparked a light in me.
It’s safe to say that I’ve out grown a lot of things, people, and habits. It’s safe to say that I have become a different person, and that’s more than ok. I’m enjoying this change and embracing the life that has come to me.
Never run away from change. When God is redirecting you, listen. Disobeying God is the most dangerous thing to do. Remember that there is truly a time for everything.
