If you know me at all, I am a girl who Loves summer. I love the sunshine. I love being outside, with my feet in the grass, feeling the warmth of the beautiful sunshine on my skin. I love to hear the laughter of all the kids running around playing, the sound of lawn mowers running and the smell of fresh cut grass. I love being able to sit out side at night watching the sun set, watching the stars become brighter as the sky darkens each night. As I describe this, I get a sense of June in my heart. As the season is changing right now, there are a lot of things changing. The grass begins to become yellow, the leafs change to beautiful reds and oranges, Clothing changes, we begin to carry jackets with us and blankets, we want warm soups and to wrap up in blankets and watch movies while sipping on hot chocolate, but OH it's SO cold outside. It stays darker longer outside, you don't see the sun nearly as much as you would in June. This feels like December to me. We all go through these seasons in our lives when we feel on top of the world and when we feel like the world is on top of us and we just need some comfort in our lives, and we feel so many things of change happening. Change is part of his plan. Growth is part of his plan. Just like the world he created, change is part of mothers earths plan too.
We all have the choice and ability to go through lots of inner change. Lots of heart walls can be brought down, lots of freeing of heaviness can be let go of. Just like changes of every season we can receive lot of change and growth through this process. This life is a process, each step we take is a process.
It's amazing to me as I get the opportunity to Mentor some amazingly strong people in my life about embracing and enduring each season they are going through, that in these months of Darkness, heartache, struggle and when they feel like they can't get out of this ever flowing pattern they are stuck in, that that can usually find some June in these December months. They take steps to removing those clouds in their heads that are causing them to feel overwhelmed and no good enough, and no consistent. We pull them from the bottom and we start climbing out of what feels like a never ending pattern that just keeps recycling.
We as mothers of this day are being beat by society up over being the perfect mother, who have the most elaborate birthday parties, who are always happy, who have everything who are always put together and who's children are always perfect and never do anything wrong and never make mistakes.
But wait.... What about just loving yourself? Does the world teach us this? Does the news coach us on finding out what our mission is for this life?
NO. These are some of the examples of when when you are probably feeling like the world is on top of you, in which I would refer to as December.
God, if or our higher power, the one that loves us the very most, and can create some June for us. He loves us ALL so much as his children. He waits for us to seek him for help. He knows us as mothers as struggle to love ourselves as he loves us. When we seek him to find Peace in our hearts, he brings us Hope. When we pray with sincerity and ask him for guidance, he Listens. He is the one that will bring the sunshine to kiss our skin, the one that removes the dark clouds from our minds..he Brings the June into December. He lifts the heavy burdens and gives us a little glimpse of summer.
