Chrystal Hurst encourages women to name the season they're in—motherhood, career, education, dating—rather than see it as delay. Each phase has its own purpose. Knowing your season helps you set boundaries, say no with love, and give yourself grace without guilt.
self grace in changing seasons. We wear so many hats, y'all. Women are always doing all the things, but Ecclesiastes chapter 3 says there is a time for everything. My mother wrote a book called Seasons of a Woman's Life because she remembered being frustrated, and she would always tell me and other women that she mentored, it's just a season. You have to say, you know what, this is my motherhood season. It's not a delay, it's not disappointment. I prayed for these children. This is a This is my season of this. Okay. I really want to get married. The dating pool is jacked. Okay. But I'm, and I'm trying to, I'm tired of being broke. This is my educational season. Sometimes if you'll, if you'll name your season, instead of seeing what you don't have, you will see what you do have. Like, don't get too down. Your life is not passing you by. It's just a season. And I know y'all what it's like to have everybody depending on me and for me to feel like, oh my gosh, when will I ever get a break? My kids, my husband, ministry, my parents. You will learn to say in various seasons no to the things that don't fit in the season. You will learn, you can learn how to set boundaries and have margin in your life. You can learn to juggle tasks without being distracted. You can say no with love, because if you're going to give yourself grace, you're going to have to communicate to other people where the grace lines are. Because grace for your season, it's not a weakness. It's wisdom. Grace for your season is not a weakness, it's wisdom.
