You are in a season. Like the oak, this season will shift into another.  Some seasons are marked by growth and vigor. Others look more like rest, release, or even bareness as leaves fall. None of them are permanent. Together, the seasons are part of the process God designed—for the acorn and for you. The mighty oak carries many stories—years of both abundance and hardship. Each ring holds a place. Each ring matters as it builds upon the next.
