Seasons

When I was younger I used to wet the bed. My family tried everything they could to make me stop. From making me carry my mattress outside to not letting me drink water after six o' clock but nothing seemed to work. I remember one particular occasion, on my fourth birthday. I woke up on my grandma's bed and it was dry! My grandma was so happy she baked me an extra cake. She told everyone that came that day that I was now a big girl and I didn't wet the bed. I was so proud of myself but those feelings were short lived. The next day like clockwork I was back to wetting the bed. 

    When I was six years old my family and I were in London on holiday and instead of staying at my grandparents we were staying at my mum's plush office-owned apartment. It was so nice that my mum didn't want me ruining the mattresses so she made me wear huggies pull-ups to sleep. One day I ran out of pull-ups so she put two sanitary pads together and made me wear it to sleep. Needless to say, it was the most embarrassing summer of my life (or so I thought). This wetting the bed problem gave me serious anxiety. I was always scared to sleep over at my cousin's or friends houses because I was scared I'd wet their bed. I cried every time it happened and asked myself why I couldn't just stop! I even prayed about it but it just kept on happening. After my ninth (I know! :o) birthday I noticed that I just didn't wet the bed anymore. It was gradual but one day it just stopped altogether. This time I didn't get a cake but it was okay because my Dad said to me after I pointed out that I didn't wet the bed anymore "I knew you would stop when it was your time to". I didn't understand it completely at the time but the older I've gotten the more I've realised that everything has its season. You might not be where or who you want to be yet but believe that if it's meant for you it will come. Nothing you physically do will catalyse it until it is your season. Now taking this a little further, the point of this is that God always has a plan for you. Sometimes you might have an insight as to what the plan is and you might want it to happen immediately and when it doesn't you are baffled. You don't understand why if you are destined to succeed it isn't happening yet. But God might just be preparing you. If He gave it to you when you wanted it you might not have been able to handle it. In conclusion, don't worry about things that seem out of your control. Be rest assured that everything good that is meant for you will come. Focus on the things that are going right for you instead and it will all be ok. Your season is coming. 

Till next time, peace and love xx
