Winter

Winter always seems to be more than just a season outside for me. I seem to experience it spiritually too. And even physically. I find myself alone in a room full of people. People cancel on me daily and I think it is me. But then I realize how God is trying to get my attention, that He is jealous and wants me to spend my energy telling him what is going on in my life. How he longs to have a lunch with me, or coffee in the morning. How even though I feel so alone in winter He is there pushing me forward, He is pruning all the things I need to get rid of. And my job is to let these things go, to listen to what God is calling me to do and cut off the things I need to do.
