Here in the northern part of the USA everything starts to show its beauty again. Yes, what seemed to be so dead and lifeless is now beginning to pop out and show signs of life!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Isn&#8217;t\u00a0that the way it feels and looks\u00a0when we are going through some seasons in our lives? Ugly, hopeless and\u00a0dead, like nothing at all is happening. Everything is still; no life or forward motion going on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It may seem like that on the surface, just like it does with the trees,\u00a0the grass, the plants and\u00a0the shrubs, etc. They\u00a0look like they\u00a0are so far gone. Nothing is going\u00a0on. But, on the inside they are really just doing their thing to get ready for the next season to come. And, oh the beauty they will\u00a0bring forth.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It starts with the little tiny buds and then it just flourishes from there. It&#8217;s simply gorgeous, the changes that come!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It&#8217;s just like what God is doing in our hearts and our lives during the seasons that feel so dry, dull and dead. Just wait to see the beauty that God has in store for us!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The key is to <em>wait<\/em> for the\u00a0season\u00a0and\u00a0be\u00a0sure we don&#8217;t pop out before our time or we could damage that very\u00a0beautiful thing that God is preparing for us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Be careful how we look at things and claim\u00a0them to be\u00a0dead. They may be\u00a0more alive\u00a0than\u00a0we could ever know!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
