I feel like life, our progress, our growth happens in seasons. These seasons are not on the same time frame as the 12month seasons, but the cycle is still the same. It seems you are coming out of a bitter winter in your seasons, but appropriately after winter comes spring. May the blossoms, tulips, birds and sunshine fill you with hope and be a reminder that with spring comes new growth- comes life. You are in a new and different place, new situations, new thoughts and emotions, you are a new you. What an amazing opportunity to prepare yourself for a summer of growth. Remember, at times Spring carries with it (like this week) chilling reminders of winters past, and even summer has its storms but nonetheless we are intrepid and we keep moving forward, because there is the hope that 'this too shall pass.' Everyday we have the opportunity to start anew, to absorb some of the Son into your being and grow a little closer to Him. Remember the lilies how they grow- the move with the sun.

Spring and seasons have obviously been on my mind. I love the change in seasons. each has its good an bad, some may be better than others, but in all they are essential to life. I do strugle with the unpredictability of the spiritual/emotional kind. I am working on reminding myself to look to the sun.
