Spring has sprung and with it comes new life, excitement and hope... hope that it will not snow anymore!!
As I drove Gracie to school today I noticed that the trees were GREEN! They were shinning in the sun and had beautiful green baby leaves all on them.
I did the same drive many times yesterday and didn't notice them. Where they even there or did spring just spring up overnight? I have been watching our backyard signs of spring, our apple tree is beginning to bud, our tulips are out of the ground and our grass is greening up quickly thanks to the kids sprinkler fun. But all these signs seem to have a progress that is measurable. Not these trees though.
There are two options. The trees did sprout amazing green leaves overnight and it was an amazingly quick process, or, they were there yesterday.. I just didn't notice. For some reason, my eyes were opened to their buds today. The second option seems more logical. I saw them, they were beautiful. Why hadn't I seen them yesterday?
This has been another reminder of how God reveals truth to us. Just because I didn't see the buds yesterday didn't mean that they weren't there, my eyes were opened to the truth today. I don't know why God decides to open our eyes when He does, but I trust in Him to open them at the right time.
I am praying that God will open my eyes to the things He needs to at the right time. Right now, I seem to be on a journey of seeing my marriage with lenses of TRUTH instead of how I WANT to see my marriage. I am excited to take a marriage counseling class with Paul. There are many books to read and I am excited to be involved with the texts and see what God reveals to me about my marriage. Truth is often not pretty, it often gets real messy but I don't want to see my marriage with any other lens.
There, my post with no pictures is done, and I hope you will forgive me this once! Speaking of pictures, I have been having too much fun editing and creating with my pictures, perhaps I will post some of my favs soon!
Keep your eyes open!
