2014!

Well, good morning out there world :) 

I write to you this morning from a temperature confused little town in Kentucky! It has been up and down and all over the place lately. One week we're having a blizzard then an ice storm, then the next week I'm sitting in the living room watching the radar from the local news showing us where the tornado's are! Ha! One thing I can say with certainty is that SPRING IS COMING! This winter is almost over! Thank God! 

I love Spring so much! As you know (if you are reading this and know me personally) I love Narnia. And I love the part where the kids are walking through Narnia and winter is ending and spring begins to bloom because the white witch begins losing her hold on the land--and because Aslan is on the move! Spring reminds me of this. Winter has its moments of beauty--sure. But overall in my opinion, winter just seems bleak, sad and I usually get to the point where I'd do just about anything to move to California with my sister to escape the frozen tundra, and begin a new life in a place where it never gets below 50 degrees! 

But, Spring...it comes so softly...first you begin to hear little birds chirping, who had previously evaded our town for somewhere with more decent living conditions, and then the sun begins to come and warm the ground and you can smell the dirt (which might be weird but I love that smell!) and everything in nature just seems to come alive! It's such a happy time! And along with nature, I feel like I begin to come alive again! I'm an outdoorsy kind of person to begin with--so when I am indoors for so long through the cold months, I just have the need to get out of buildings!!! And Spring provides that opportunity in the most wonderful ways! 

So, I hope everyone has had an amazing start to 2014! I know it has been good, but busy for me! And I am excited to see all that the Lord has in store for this new year-- like always--He has such good things awaiting for those who love and serve Him!

Blessings to you today!
