Author Description

In nature, a season is ninety-one days long. With God, a spiritual season may be much longer. That might not be what we want to hear, but it's the truth. The duration of our spiritual seasons with God relate to what He is preparing us for and what is coming for us next, thus He is preparing us in one season for what we will do in our next season. That means as we go through our season, we need to pay special attention to the things that happen to us, the things we learn, and the very heart of change that God wants to work within us. Come along for a "natural season" and share with Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino in stories and reflections from her spiritual season, which lasted just around four years. God's lessons touched nearly every aspect of her life, including God's timing, letting go of past people who were from other seasons, God doesn't do things as a "crash course," and beyond. From seeing God's grace in her difficult dog to noting the need for patience in an abandoned plant outside the dumpster of her apartment complex, Dr. Marino's reflections are brutally honest, genuine, and revealing to all of us as to how God works in season and out, in the times we enjoy as well as the ones we don't, and learning to hear His voice in the season you are in, right now.
