Seasons of Change

If you're the mother of little ones, then you're no doubt finding yourself in a season of continual change. You can go through days when you feel like you're climbing Everest - with multiple kids on your back - and others that are more like drifting slowly and steadily down the Guadalupe (okay, there are probably far fewer of these). You can go through seasons when a new baby, a big move, or the death of a close family member or friend can throw your life into such upheaval that you can no longer easily discern which way is up. Our family has been through many fairly dramatic changes recently and I have been extremely encouraged by the following books and audio on change.

*Seasons of Change, Seasons of Grace, by Georgia Settle
This book is written by a woman who has clearly experienced many seasons of change herself. Through much wisdom and insight she challenges Christians to remain positive even through life's toughest trials because when everything else around us changes, our good and gracious Father remains the same.

*All Things for Good, by Thomas Watson
While this book does not explicitly speak about change, it is a wonderful reminder - in the midst of change - that, "We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

*In Every Season of Life (mp3), Carolyn Mahaney
This is a fabulous message for young moms who seek guidance in how to be intentional with this season of life.
