After a long unseasonably hot summer challenged with a few years of a historic drought, I was reminded this past week, after our first real and wonderful full day of rain, that like my garden, I am living in a season to learn patience through a greater trust in my faith.
I found myself, after a hectic start this morning, that I needed to find that space of patience. I realized that I needed to breathe and let go of the many uncertainties.
With many different thoughts dancing through my head, I found my feet leading me outside into our garden. I sat down on a bench and began to take in the fresh air from the first blush of an autumn morning. As I quietly sat, I began to look around to take in the captured beauty of the garden, I found my thoughts becoming more clear and my heart beginning to find a peace.
As this peaceful feeling wash over me I began to realize that I needed to have a greater trust in my faith. And like a garden patiently waiting for rain, I too must be patient and realize that not everything is in my timing. I must be willing to be patient in my faith to allow the Will of His Grace to be revealed to me in His Timing. I must choose to freely trust in knowing this is a just a season. And for me this a season to embrace patience and to continue to grow my faith more through my heart.
