Not my Season

I was recently traveling with some friends and we got on the topic of favorite one-liners.....
Some were hysterical, some pretty sad, but one that really stuck to me was when she was visiting her very young niece just outside of Boston and they had gone outside in the snow and she looked up to her aunt and stated simply,"Not my season" and walked away.
While we were joking about all these one liners, this one from a young girl really stuck with me. What insight she has and doesn't even know it. "Not my season". While I know she was referring to the weather, I am thinking of how we often claim or believe this one liner spoke by this child for our self. "Not my season".
We struggle to do what we think we should be doing and when it gets a little tough or "it" doesn't happen soon enough we think, it is "not my season" apparently.
Well, it is a good thing Noah did not think that, or Joshua or Peter.
All too often I allow the enemy to come in and rob me of a great season in my life, how about you? I am just being real here, I am not the greatest at persevering, are you? I would love to think I am. But I would only be lying to myself.
I am on a short sabbatical and trying to do some soul searching of myself and am finding out there are many things I do not like about myself. I am praying for guidance in these areas. I believe that I easily say, "not my season" and move along as though nothing is different or that it does not bother me, that it is "not my season". Quite frankly, I am 51 and am wondering, when is my season God? MY answer.......I am in my season.
Just because something does not seem easy for us at times it does not mean we are not in our season. Where ever we are, God has placed us there for this season. It doesn't mean it is the only place we will ever be, but we/I need to make the most of it and do my best in it anyway. I have been so busy trying to look ahead to what I think is my destiny I have missed most of it. Does this strike a familiar cord in anyone else?
In the church I attended today the Pastor 's message was titled, "God can make your walls come down flat" Scripture used is Joshua 6:1-5. I have heard different takes on this passage before but, interestingly, no one has ever said the walls fell inward, as one would think in battle.
When God is in charge of the walls coming down, he does not allow them to fall inwardly, where we can rebuild them, they fall away from us or flat to the ground, therefore not allowing us to rebuild the walls God removed from us. I am hopeful at this season in my life to have those walls fall away, flat to the ground, not allowing this one to replace them again. My dear saints, it is always easier to see the walls someone else has built around them, it isn't always easy to see our own. I urge you to spend time, separate yourself from all things, fast, pray, really seek his face, his heart and get the walls gone. These obstacles are sometimes opportunities for God to work in our lives.
Remember we have victory in Christ read I Cor 15:57
We are never alone Heb 13:5
Always put on your armor daily, equip yourself daily with the word ; Eph 6
