It's September 30th. I've officially been in California for 46 days now. But for the amount of growing I've done in this time here, it might as well be two years.
In 46 days I found a place to live, bought a car, had a car get smashed in and totaled, made new friends, started a new school, joined a new church, missed my family more than anything, been talked to in "highway-eese" (Example: "How was your day?" "Good. I took the 405 to the 55 to the 73 to the...."), and have wondered, more than a few times, what the heck I am doing here.
However, in 46 days I have also seen the sovereignty, the grace, the provision and the intimate care provided by the Lord in my life. He has given and He has taken away. He has revealed Himself to me, and at times it seemed He hid His face from me. He listened to me cry and He gave me reasons to laugh.
There is a season for all things.
In 46 days I have experienced so many "seasons," so many changes in my life, that I can only describe this time as "The Season of Seasoning."
I am being stretched and grown and seasoned and made into salt and light. And we're only 46 days into this journey. Here we go!
