Seasons of Change

What a busy week. Whew. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

As I was gathering photos for this post, I was struck by the thought that the week has been largely about seasons . . . new seasons in life and old seasons coming to a close. At the same time, we realize that although every season brings change, the one constant is our Father. His faithfulness is unchanging. He IS always with us . . . through every end and every beginning. He IS good all the time and all the time, God is good!

And so, we saw seasons coming to an end . . . Mackenzie finished up with her preschool year last Friday. While she's looking all laid back (no pun intended) in the photo below, what you don't see is the meltdown in the car after leaving school-just 10 minutes after this photo was taken. She cried her eyes out, all while telling me how much she would miss her teachers.



My nieces Alaina and Chloe celebrated the end of another season of dance with the arrival of the recital last weekend. Here, they share a hug with Nanna before we left for the theatre.



MOPS at our church ended for the year. It was a great season and we celebrated the end of this year, but the beginning of a new one with a balloon release for the moms and children. Inside each balloon was information about our start up date in the fall. I'm already excited to start the planning process again!


Cassidy is winding down to the end of another school year. Last night was the annual school picnic-another indicator that summer vacation is just around the corner. She will soon say goodbye to 4th grade and move onto her final year of elementary school. If someone will please tell me where the time has gone, I'd be so grateful!

In the photos below, you'll see Gregg hitting one for the team during the picnic's softball game. The bases were loaded as Gregg and I sauntered over to the ball field. At Mr. K's urging, Gregg stepped in to hit one far enough to bring four kids home. Cassidy was the fourth one to cross home plate. That was a first for our firstborn!





So . . . we celebrate. Seasons come and go. Sometimes we don't want to deal with a new season-as aptly shown by Mackenzie below. But, it's part of life.

And we go on.

And we pray.

And we trust.

Because He will always be faithful through EVERY season!
