Yearning for Spring

This year I am more than eager for springtime weather. Normally I am not one to wish a season away, but I feel like we have been quite teased. We have a smattering of springtime weather, flowers begin to bud, the birds are out to play and then we wake up to cold. Boo. I am ready for full days spent outdoors, days at the baseball park to be spent without a coat, to not be shivering during Ellie's horseback lessons, picnics to be in abundance, and for everything to be GREEN. Today I thought I would bask in what is to come. I am sure you all that still have snow are quite annoyed that we even have a taste of spring amongst your winter wonderland, alas living in the south does have its perks.

Risks, Rewards, and Dreaming

 

{print by Lindsay Letters}

It's been awhile since I have fallen off the blogging wagon. Last week was a bit crazy with the Mr being out of town and I having one of my sick "episodes". We are also praying through a big business venture that may or may not come to fruition. I'm not one for taking risks, but I know one day it must be done in order for a few dreams to come true. What to do, what to do? Also I took the last week and half to purge the house. I had about 10 trash bags and much more to donate/sell/give. I still have the garage to do, but I believe I need to enlist the Mr's help for that one. I also realized my thoughts of being a minimalist are absolutely impossible when we own so many books. HA. At least I am getting to the point where only the loves are staying. So many changes tend to make me anxious especially when some of the changes are unknown. I have to continually remind myself of God's faithfulness and no matter what all is good.
