seasons of life.

I know that living on the Mountain Top is changing my life.

Covenant sort of represents a season of FALL for me. 
I came into school as if it would be summer forever; Wide-eyed freshman and expecting to be green-leafed forever.

But summer never lasts, 

at least not summers of the soul. 

Fall will come.

And Fall has been Covenant for me. 

The first couple days of fall feel bitter; it is cold, rainy, and full of greys. But after those first couple dead-feeling days we realize that there is beauty in the death. 

The truth of the leaves is revealed. 

We learn that God is too creative, too good to leave them in the summer heat forever. 
Our eyes are opened and soon we begin to see life in the midst of the bitter rain. 

we see life lived out in red. 

We begin to see the reality of the leaves.
That really has been Covenant for me: There are a lot of days that feel cold and bitter. But I know that the Lord is just revealing my reality, the true colors that my life is painted in. 

My life is painted in the deepest, most beautiful red.
