The End of a Season
By Susan Klein

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)

Seasons end, new ones begin. We find this to be evident in our calendar year, in our jobs, in our personal lives… No season is infinite. As the writer of Ecclesiastes points out, there is an appointed time for everything.

Our Fresh Start blog began its season eleven years ago with just a handful of writers, each with a vision to share words of inspiration that God had placed on their hearts. Thanks to readers like you, this ministry grew, and morphed, and changed over the years of its existence, serving a specific purpose, for a divinely appointed time.

The season of Fresh Start has now come to an end. We sincerely hope and pray that you have found words that have encouraged you, given you hope, and even, on occasion, challenged you in your faith journey as you’ve opened your email each weekday morning.

Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your daily lives, and for blessing us with your kind responses and words of encouragement.

May our gracious heavenly Father continue to be your source of inspiration and encouragement as you navigate your own seasons of life.


With heartfelt love and gratitude,
The Fresh Start Team
