"You Are Experiencing Spring."

"You are experiencing spring." Those were God's words to me. Simple and sweet. 

God has been showing me that change doesn't have to be a bad thing. Change is something that scares me. I don't like the unknown so I worry. "Trust Me." I try. I'm learning to trust and I'm learning to not be so worrisome about change. So when God compared my experiencing change to something as beautiful as spring, it changed my perspective a bit. 

"Change takes time. Spring doesn't all happen at once." I'm learning to wait in a time of in between. Not yet started or finished. When I don't see immediate results, I get worried. But the time in between can be beautiful if I find the beauty in it. The transfer from winter to spring is a wonderful thing. It's exciting and with it comes a clean slate. Everything is new and hopeful. 

So I wait.

And wait.

And wait...

... And I start to get worried and lose hope. But then God comes and comforts me and whispers to me "I've got you sweetheart." So I take a deep breath and look around. I notice the little things. Like a beautiful sunset or rainstorm. Music. Books. Dance. Clouds. Sunshine.... Wildflowers. I am a wildflower. And right now I'm just now poking my head up from the dirt. So I remember God's words, "You are experiencing spring." and I know I'm going to make it just fine.



"You are my beautiful wildflower. Continue to grow in me."
