So…you’re in a hard season.
In fact, it might feel like every season of motherhood, or life in general, is a hard season.
You’re in a season of motherhood with limited time, resources, space, and more. Tantrums may be at their highest and sleep at its lowest. You have huge dreams and desires that you are itching to scratch, yet the season of motherhood you’re in smacks you right in the face when you’re met with a meltdown every time you think you have a moment alone.
Or, you may be in a season where finances are tight and marital tensions are rising. Or, maybe you’re in a season of battling health issues.
Right now, if you’re reading this during the Coronavirus pandemic, we’re all in an extremely difficult season of isolation, economic uncertainty, resources and outlets we could once rely on that are now gone, and that very real concern of the dangers of COVID-19.
So, how do you accept the season that you’re in and stay CONTENT in the season you’re in while being hopeful and expectant for your next season? Is it possible to do both? Or, does staying content require you to not even focus on the next season? What does even mean to be content in the Biblical sense?

Plant seeds in your current season to set yourself up for the harvest of your next season
