We have all the windows in the house open today. A cool breeze is gently blowing through the living room, and birds are chirping outside. Spring is here, and while it’s been a very rainy spring, even for south central PA, I love it. There is something about spring that makes me happy. The sunshine, the cool evenings that are perfect for campfires and s’mores with friends, the “non-weather” (that perfect temperature when you’re not hot or cold).
There is new life coming up, everywhere I look. Walk around our yard and you’ll see flowers blooming, strawberries turning red, and vegetables growing. Spring brings hope, and change, and everything seems new again. And while nature seems refreshed and revived, I feel the same. This is a season of “new” for me, in so many ways.
New…
priorities
relationships
focus
goals
decorating ideas
attitude about my body/looks
appreciation for my husband
dreams
After a season of difficulty and challenge, it is simply refreshing and beautiful to be in this place. The changes can be overwhelming and scary, and I know there will still be challenges – but what joy when I think about where I’ve been, and where God has brought me. These changes, this season of “new,” it’s all in His time, and by His grace. And no matter how other people have wanted me to change, have even asked me to change in the past few months – I’m confident that God has me where He wants me right now. And I’m happy 🙂
