Beyond Winter


"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them."

Daniel 2:20-21


For many days I stared at the view of trees cloaked in ice. I waited for my heart to thaw. The ever-present chill of loss followed me wherever I went.

God, I though I might live in this season forever. Even when I called out to You, I had moments of doubt that nothing could be done on this side of heaven to restore my life. But, Lord, You reached for my heart and warmed it with Your grace. You carried me through the storm and brought me into the radiant possibility of a new season.
