Before the Next Thing

Today I consider the season of preparation.

I often encourage others who feel like nothing’s happening, like they idle at a standstill, like they fly in a holding pattern, that something is happening. That something is preparation! When life feels slow and quiet, I like to consider all I’m reading and studying. I like to ponder. I like to build up creative ideas.

I like to pray and wait.

A season of fruitfulness will come, just like the harvest, but first, preparation.
