"Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance." — Yoko Ono
Change is never easy but it is necessary.
For us to enjoy the newness of this season, we have to make things easier. When we simplify, we create room to grow and we can receive new things the Father has in store for us. If we hold on to the old things, the new things have no place to fit.
The Bible says you cannot put new wine in an old wineskin, so you must make room to receive.
It is a careful balance; and if you do it correctly; it can take you into the new.
Last month, I joined the Kingdom Writers Conference where I was confronted with a good deal of new information and a fresh anointing that confirmed the cleansing change. I really had to rethink my strategy and rethink my Why and How. That, after I have set up a business plan to begin a platform for like-minded creatives.
I was in for a big surprise and had to really come to grips with this in order to accept and change or be stuck and become stagnant.
For starters, my website’s platform has changed, and the name has changed. This wasn’t an overnight change but a gradual change from WordPress to Blogger that had its own challenges. I will share all the new links in the next session.
But it comes down to simplicity and clarity. For myself and to my followers.
As a creative being, I have many outlets and each needs its own spotlight.
- As a writer, a website is essential for sales and marketing. After all, we like to talk about books.
- As a freelancer, I need a place to advertise my services.
- As a reviewer and blogger, I like to talk about the books I have read.
- A platform for like-minded people also needs a space.
- And as a coach, I need a space to talk about the things/problems we face.
Quite a momentous task, but once everything is in place, it just needs to be maintained.
When I began I was overwhelmed and deflated, but now that the end is insight I feel lighter and more energised with the recent developments.
So, no matter how much we argue or kick against the changes in the long run, it is beneficial.
A river can only flow easily when it receives fresh water. And fresh water only comes from a source that is without debris and flow with ease.
May this season be a refreshing joy for you.
I bless you.
You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen." — Ernest Hemingway
