Living in Orlando, we don't have drastic seasons like I was familar with growing up in Northwest Ohio. After living in Orlando for almost 3 years now, I can recognize the Florida 'seasons' - it goes from warm to hot to dripping with sweat.
I have been traveling a lot over the past month ad I have experienced spring in 3 places - Europe, Tennessee and now Colorado. It is like a breath of fresh air that I had forgotton all about. The newness all around the fraility of buds begining to burst forth with new life and joy.
As I look around at the spring I sense in my heart that it is also spring time. That God is breathing life into parts of me that have been dormant for sometime - that He is awakening things in me that are getting ready to burst forth.
God is asking me to allow him to gently unfold the buds in my heart and make them into beautiful flowers. While this process seems so hard and requires so much trust, I can't imagine what it will look like in the end.
The photo above is one I took in Slovina - I love that it has flowers that have bloomed and full buds ready to burst forth - imagine if it was only buds and never blooms - what beauty we would miss out on.
I am trusting God for the areas in my heart He wants to make into flowers, one unfolding petal at a time.
Isaiah 43:19
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
