today marks the first day of spring. how i have longed for the warmth of the sun. i've itched to get in the yard and enjoy time spent outdoors. the tulip poplars are budding, the blossoming cherries are glorious, and my hydrangeas have the slightest bit of green springing forth. i love to see the new life emerge from winter's slumber.i've been thinking for some time that my blog is lacking content. i started this as my new year's resolution..."to be more transparent with God, myself, and others." i have successfully failed at keeping my resolution. (nothing new there) yes, i have posted about every other day or so; yes, i have shared silly things that are going on, or home improvements. however, i have not divulged the heart of what is happening in my life...the way that God is moving, working, and stretching my faith in Him. i'm not one to get particularly vulnerable on my blog- i would venture to say that i probably don't even know half of the people that read every day. but it's the vulnerability of others' blogs that makes me an addicted reader. i appreciate those who get to the heart of the matter, that share more than just thrifty finds or teacher stories. (not that there's anything wrong with that). i have been transformed from the inside out, due to the writings of unknown blog authors. what if part of my "pilgrimage" through life could touch someone the way that those aformentioned have touched me? i am wasting perfect opportunities to spread the hope i have in Christ...
and so, with the first day of spring, i am hoping to come out from winter's frost. i'm ready to sprout from my dormancy and grow. i'm ready to share my heart, in little bits and pieces. i'm not calling this a resolution, because labeling it as so will set me up for failure. i'm simply calling this spring. welcome, spring.
