Spring—we’ve been waiting on you!
Spring is a season of warming, longer days, and nature coming back to life. As the flowers bloom and animals are born, it reminds me of the beauty and innocence that exists in this world. Spring provides a reminder to us that we should be living a full life and leaving the old dead parts of life behind. There is always hope during the coldest, darkest winters of life. Spring will come again and new life will emerge!
I’m a worrier by nature. I try my hardest not to be, but when things don’t go as planned, I to try to “fix” them first. Then I always turn to one of my favorite passages: “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life’s span? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin” Matthew 6: 26-28. Bring it on spring. And I’m going to cast all my anxiousness and worries away!
