I’m writing about how to trust God in an awkward season at Devotable today. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.
An Untimely Harvest
And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”
Luke 5:5 ESV
In August, I’ll plant my first-ever fall garden. After decades of gardening, it will feel like a weird adventure.
I’m used to planting in the spring, when mornings are cool and sunlight is gentle. But I’m trusting the experts who say you must plant in hot and humid August if you want crisp greens, succulent peas, and fat squashes in October.
Why is this my first year for a fall garden? Because this spring and summer, I’ve been preoccupied with a major project. I haven’t had time to devote to my regular patterns of planting, watering, weeding and spraying. The work that feels so familiar to me.
Awkward Seasons
Quite frankly, the timing of my project deadline couldn’t be more challenging. Since my children were born, my summers have been dedicated to fun-filled days with them. This year, God called me to work hard all summer long. He determined the timing—not me.
Maybe you’re in an awkward season where the timing feels off. You may feel like it’s not the right time for this challenge to which you’ve been called. You’re quietly hoping a harvest will come later, when you will see the fruit of your hard work.
Keep reading over at Devotable today where I discuss how we can trust God even in awkward seasons.
