Written by Sarah Joy Holden There's a pebble in the ocean - Dropped in by human emotion. When life feels to be uncertain - We find ourselves there again. Another pebble cast in the ocean - Many pebbles for every season. With every fibre and emotion - A pebble we own or hath thrown.

Hi, and welcome back to the Walking Through Wilderness blogs! We started a new series last week, around the topic of seasons, and today, we’re going to look at the importance of embracing the season you are in.
