Feeling of Spring

Where I live, spring doesn't get sprung until about the middle of May. But, I have hope as it gets lighter outside that that time is getting closer. Right now it is light at 8am and dark about 7pm. It makes such a difference when you thought that the light was never coming back. But, I have always loved spring. Actually, I love all the change of the seasons. I cannot pick one that I like more than the others. I love spring because the winter is ending. And it always seems like the darkness is so heavy just before it gets light again. And then, just when you think that it is not going to get any better, there is the light. And then the snow goes, and then the trees bloom. My favorite bloom of all was the year my daughter Frick was born. I went into labor and it was a warm day, I went for walks and I just rested. And then it was time to go have her and then four hours after she was born we were on our way home and there was green leaves everywhere. It was so beautiful. But, I also love this beginning of spring because it feels like a renewal I can look at things that I need renewing. It is a little different then the new year, because that is a time to try to start over, now, it is time to look at the possiblilities and jump in some new rivers. I know that right now in my life, I feel like I am getting closer to something big and every day is a new step toward change and toward somewhere where I am supposed to be. I am always looking to learn about myself and to become the person that I know that my God wants me to be. I know that He sees me as perfect and His child. I love that about Him. But, I also know that there are things in my life that keep me from the place where belong as the best person I should be. But, I am getting better. So, I am happy, spring is on the way.
