   Heather you so beautifully expressed my heart here! I actually cringe when I hear the word season…because I have been in it for 12 years now. It doesn’t feel like a season.

   But, the parallel you made with the snow and when you rush it, it breaks or devastates, now that is a visual I understand.

   I am grateful from my family, blessed beyond blessed. However, it is THE area, that God uses in my life to mold me. It is not easy, but it is good to be where God wants me and know that He is at work on my heart.

   You are such a blessing!

     thanks sister friend. After writing this I also realized that fall is considered to be more pleasant than winter…how sometimes the seasons we want to “rush” through may be the more pleasant in our lifetime…
     hmmm

   I needed to read this post more than I can express. You can be a mother of one, pregnant with another, and still want to rush through your season…only to find that I will try to rush through the next season, once it arrives. That is why I am so thankful for your words today…I need to meditate on this.

     it’s so hard to just be content in this. I keep expecting “perfect” to be right around the corner instead of finding perfect right where i am. (love)

   There’s something about motherhood that leads us to believe it will always be this hard. I have to remind myself constantly that it will pass, and there are things to appreciate about this time that I won’t have once it does pass. It’s like when I’m sweating and stinky in the middle of summer and pine away for cozy nights by the fire and the nip of cool air in fall, but when fall comes around I wish for the longer days and sunshine of summer.

   I too felt something at Relevant that I wish I could replicate here at home. The community I had there was so accepting and safe. You are not alone!

   I too am growing a belly and mothering little ones at the same time. (I only have two though.) And thank you for sharing . . . the reminder is good.

   I feel like I am going through this “time” as well. I feel like my heart can actually feel Him twisting, molding, tearing off things. I don’t love this feeling! But then I know I hear His voice in my everyday saying “OHH! You just wait! Just wait till you see what I am crafting your life into! Be obedient. Search me out. But be patient with this time in your life!”

   I think its ok to feel a little ‘off to the side of joyful’. A little uncomfortable. A little unbalanced. These things keep me clinging for Him anyway. Loved your post! and needed to hear it this morning!

   I subscribe to your blog so I read it in my email instead of over here and so many times I want to respond and I don’t get a chance to. I relate to SO MANY of your entries. I seriously could have written them myself. If I had a human mouthpiece it would be you. LOL I am going to try to start blogging more. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your transparency when you write. It is very real and not sugar coated. I love it.
