Being a Michigander at heart, I am very familiar with the four seasons. So, when we moved I was uncertain about how I would transition to such a warm climate. However, as of right now, I am totally okay with the weather here. :) Spring came in like 2 days! There was no annoying transition month, where everyone is ready for it to get nice out but it's not quite there yet. It rained one day...and then it was spring! I am amazed.
Every season comes with its joys and trials (pardon the cheesey seguae..that was pretty bad hah). Some seasons are confusing and difficult. But, this season seems joyful and exciting to me. God has provided community in our lives that I was not expecting, and I am SO grateful. I realize that life is not always like this. In fact, as Christians, we know that we should not expect life to be easy or always enjoyable. So, I am counting my blessings and giving praise in this sweet season, knowing that I will need to remember it when a bitter season comes along again. Always giving praise.
In church, we sang, "Our God is able. Our God is faithful." I have been thinking about what faith means this week. A friend told me its about "being excited and hopeful, but realistic." It's about being okay with what God's will is even if it's not the easier route. Faith is about knowing that God is able to do anything. He always has our best interest in mind, and we know that our future is secure with Him. That is something I can always, regardless of the season, be excited about!
