I love New Seasons! Can you relate?
Although there can be uncertainties that come with a new season, there are also new adventures if we're willing to let go of our fears and sometimes let go of our expectations of what it should look like.
Transitioning into a new season does not have to be a negative experience. Resist the urge to ponder on any negativity that surrounds the word, transition. Choose to make this time different by making a list of fun, personal, and professional things you desire to accomplish in this new season and do them!

Open Doors, New Opportunities:
I hear, "Access granted!" Some have been in a long season of waiting, God says, "The wait is over, the doors are unlocked and open. Access Granted!" In the coming days, you will see door after door opening in your favor.
No need to fear. No need to doubt. You are ready. You are qualified. (John 15) This is the season you were preparing for. THIS moment-- the time is now! (Eather 4:14)
Opening of Prison Doors:
Daughter, it's time to walk out. You are free. You have been released from the bondage of your past. The door is unlocked. I say to you this day, "Walk out, you...are...free. Resist the urge to remain in a familiar state."
Begin to surround yourself with people who are going where I am taking you. Surround yourself with loving, positive, and supportive sisters who will speak life into you and will not deplete you. You were born for more. You have a great purpose. As you get up from that place and put one foot in front of the other, your life will look significantly different--better than you ever imagined in just one year from now. You are no longer imprisoned. YOU ARE RELEASED!
“Suddenly, a great earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. All at once every prison door flung open and the chains of all the prisoners came loose." Acts 16:26 TPT

Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd...

Eccl. 4:9-10 VOICE
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

Moving Forward
I'm not going back, I'm moving ahead
Here to declare to you my past is over in you
All things are made new, surrendered my life to Christ
I'm moving, moving forward
You make all things new (you make all things new)
Yes, you make all things new and I will follow you forward

Matthew 5:14-16 MSG
“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

I can have the better life I long for, and so can you! It's not just a thought or an unattainable dream, it's close, and it's within reach. It's time to step out of our comfort zone, spread our wings and soar!

When God says, "Come as you are," He truly means just that. We can come with our brokenness, questions, frustrations, and anger--He'll never turn us away. He's inviting us to draw closer, to come, sit and lay it all at His feet.
1 Peter 5:7 ESV "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."
Matthew 11:28 TPT “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis.”
Matthew 11:28 AMP “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].

God is not afraid of our questions; He welcomes them. On this particular day, I was feeling broken, tired and had many things in my heart. I decided to write them out, and I closed my journal. Immediately, the Father spoke, "Come, sit, I want to answer you." I sat down and opened my journal, and Papa flooded my heart with His loving response.
God sees you, and He cares. He's not asking you to mask your hurt and pain or to stuff down your feelings. He's inviting you to come close, and get out your anger, frustration, and emotions, but be willing to be still as He responds.

Eternal One: Before I even formed you in your mother’s womb, I knew all about you. Before you drew your first breath, I had already chosen you to be My prophet to speak My word to the nations.
Matthew 5:14-16 (MSG)
“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine!

Scriptures:
1 Peter 5:7-8 VOICE Since God cares for you, let Him carry all your burdens and worries. 8 Most importantly, be disciplined and stay on guard. Your enemy the devil is prowling around outside like a roaring lion, just waiting and hoping for the chance to devour someone.
James 4:7-8 VOICE So submit yourselves to the one true God and fight against the devil and his schemes. If you do, he will run away in failure. 8 Come close to the one true God, and He will draw close to you. Wash your hands; you have dirtied them in sin. Cleanse your heart, because your mind is split down the middle, your love for God on one side and selfish pursuits on the other.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 TPT Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God. https://bible.com/bible/1849/2co.5.17-18.TPT

Ephesians 2:10 NLT "For we are God's masterpiece."
