Waiting for Spring
I wait, and I groan, I long for the warmth of the sun, but all is frozen. My life appears as a barren waste land with nothing good in it. My ways have been frustrated, by plans come to dead ends. I cry for the way to go, not wanting to surrender to what is before me. I look behind, I look ahead, Lord help me to look where you are looking and to fix my gaze there. Something stirs deep under the ice, under the barrenness. Under it all something is growing and something is about to be birthed, help me Lord. Hold on to me.

Christa, my dear friend,
All Creation waits for the Spring to birth.
Can't wait to see you over the holidays!
aw. Poor flower looks cold.
cool post!
miss ya tons tons and more tons!
When I read your blog, I thought immediately of "Wilderness:
(This is from another site:)
Before embarking upon his public ministry with all its demands,
temptations and potential misdirections, Jesus had to know himself in the fullness of his humanity. He had to understand the ways we human beings can so easily be pulled off course, particularly when the evil one masquerades as an angel of light and we find ourselves tempted in the form of something that seems a greater good. The Spirit of God who led Jesus into the wilderness now
draws him into an intense season of interior struggle in order to root and ground him in his newfound belovedness in such a way that he will be able to discern the way forward and resist the various tugs and pulls and ever
present seductions to satisfy ego at the expense of vocation.
Do you think you've walked into the wilderness?
Hey Christa
i was reading your post and a song came to my mind for some reason.
I found You in the most unlikely way
But really it was You who found me
And I found myself in the gifts that You gave
You gave me so much and I
I wish You could stay
but I'll, I'll wait for the day
Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
and I'll be remembering You, I'll be remembering You
From the first moment when I heard Your name
Something in my heart came alive
You showed me love and no words could explain
A love with the power to
Open the door
To a world I was made for
The dark night, the hard fight
The long climb up the hill knowing the cost
The brave death, the last breathe
The silence whispering all hope was lost
The thunder, the wonder
A power that brings the dead back to life
I wish You could stay
But I'll wait for the day
And though You've gone away
You come back and
And I'll watch as the sun fills a sky that was dark
And I'll be remembering You
And I'll think of the way that You fill up my heart
And I'll be remembering You
That's from the Music inspired by the new Narnia movie
Love you and God Bless
