Don't Miss The Growth + Beauty Blossoming Both Around and Within You!

The Susan Beth Podcast - Purpose, Intentional Living

Hey, hey, I hope you're doing well. You believe we are heading into the last week of May. And with the celebration of Memorial Day, some of you might be having a long weekend. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. May is a special month of memories that signifies for many walking out of one season of life and into the next. The momentum of May, nestled in the season of spring, is all about growth and things blossoming and blooming around us.

As I read some posts from graduates, I can remember all of the feelings that I felt. It's an exciting time, but I know for me, as exciting as it all was, I felt very sentimental about my high school days ending. I knew that life as I had become accustomed to was forever going to change. I knew that all of my best friends in that friend circle, as we all went to different cities and states for school, that more than likely those relationships would not remain the same.

It's an exciting time, and it can feel in that moment that everyone in your world is celebrating you and cheering you on. If you receive emails from me, you might notice that I often end my notes with "cheering you on." Those words mean something to me when I'm sending them out to you for you to read. I want you to know that if no one else is in your ear, in your world, cheering you on, I am.

As adults, we sometimes feel a void when that encouragement is absent. We can't help but feel it, which leads us to waiting on validation or recognition to continue or move forward fully into something. Maybe you're hearing this and thinking, that's me. There are things that you think about that you want to try or to learn about, but deep down inside, you feel like you have to be invited into that new space.

One day, it sunk in for me that many people who stepped out of their boxes did so because they gave themselves permission. I believe that we are being invited and have been given permission by the one who designed and created us. You know the feeling because you have them too. You know the things that tug at your heart that maybe doesn't tug at everyone else around you. There's a reason for that.

What a beautiful reminder that spring is the season of growth. And there is plenty of growth for us to witness as we look around in nature, as well as in the lives and all the celebrations taking place around us. I would love to remind you today that the season of spring will continue to come around for you. You don't outgrow seasons. Each and every day is a fresh opportunity to grow in the goodness and knowledge of God and be invited every day to co-labor with Him.

My husband, Ron, and I always said to our five kids when they were growing up that we wanted them to be learners and to love learning. It amazes me sometimes that for me, someone that hated classrooms and schools, I'm constantly reading and studying and learning. So here's to learning and loving and continuing to grow into everything that our God planned and purposed for us. Love you guys. And we will talk soon.
