You may think of fall and winter as seasons to let go and let things die. Much of the world can look barren after the trees have shed and the world gets cold and dark. But a season of shedding for one person can be a season of blossoming for another.

You may have watched those around you bloom and flourish, while you remained hidden and buried. However, it wasn't your season; it was theirs. You may feel like you've missed your moment, like you've been forgotten, or been left behind. But God can produce blooms in any season, and if you haven't seen the fruit that remains that you were hoping for in your Christ calling -- it's because it hasn't been your season. Your season to bloom and flourish is coming—don't lose heart! Winter blooms aren't late, they're simply operating on a different timeline than spring blooms.

God is bringing you into your season of blooming; it simply looks different than those around you. If you feel like you've missed your moment or are behind in life, it's time to start celebrating! You haven't missed it! God's timing is perfect and it's time to celebrate the beauty of God's timing in your life. Praise Him when you don't understand. Allow yourself to flourish, even if it seems in opposition to others around you. His timing with you is perfect.

Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past as you consecrate yourself to and embrace with expectation your new season.
