Seasons Change

Everything has its season.  For nearly  four years of my life I prepared to spend my life with Ventric Fletcher.  Then on December 13, 2011 (two days before our 4th anniversary) he asked for a "temporary break".  I was pretty sure that there was no such thing as a temporary break.  Particularly given the signs were there all before this.  I went from being his priority to his second thought.  But I promised him (and God) that I would try. And I did.  I can't claim perfection, but I did put my all into what I thought to be my future.  For months we carried on as though we would end the temporary break.  And finally in October 2012, he admitted that he was in a relationship with another person.   And at that very moment I received PEACE.  

I received this peace because I had spent a lot of time praying and fasting with and for him.  And it frightens me to know I joined hands to pray with him to save our relationship while he was "moving on".  But I am not bitter. I'm thankful.

Ventric and I had some good days.  I truly enjoyed our time together. I enjoyed "Our Season".  When we were good. WE WERE GOOD. We were "Barak and Michelle".  I give him that.  

For reasons, I may never understand, that season ended. And I'm doing just fine.

But to then end of that season and new season begins. .  and so I walk into my new destiny proudly.

I walk into my new Season with joy, increase, and gladness.  I enter my new Season with increase, favor and boldness.  I enter it with the expectation of greatness and fulfillment in being JUST who God wants me to be.  

I enter it with new friends, old friends, family, and a true understanding of what God means when He promises to open up the windows of heaven that you will not have room enough to receive it!  

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support.  Know that our prayers are not and were not in vain.  And I am happy as "Seasons Change."
