It's the season of Lent. He has risen! It's Eastertime! It's springtime! The season of regrowth, renewal, resurrection and rebirth. Are you feeling the season? Is it your favorite time of year? Are you just now thawing out from the frozen winter months? Are your flowers blooming, trees budding, and lawns turning greener? Yes, it's that time of year!
This past week I got a renewed sense of hope...of anticipation...of excitement for the future! It's been awhile since I've had this spark lit and also persist. Sometimes something can light us up for a moment and then it fades or burns out quickly. Like, going into a new year hoping for change or achieving your resolutions only to find them fade away in week two! Yes, we've all been there. But, this time the spark is urging me on, still burning in my belly, still giving me HOPE! Yes, I'm hoping it lasts and yes I'm hoping it propels me forward into God's next steps in my journey. So, I'm holding onto it (not suffocating it), appreciating it, and believing in it...to move ahead with God's grace and mercy.
Yes, it's the time of year again...when He shows us the beauty of renewal. In the environment all around us and in the remembrance of His resurrection...to save us from our sins. God is good.
May blessings spark a renewal in you this week during this season of Lent!!
