The sun is shining today.
The birds are singing joyfully and the sky is a beautiful shade of blue.
From the outside, everything seems idyllic.

Spring has finally arrived in our world, but how about in our hearts?
I dont know about you, but the pandemic has created a deep season of uncertainty in my heart.
I shiver at the cold realities of our world right now.
This season is painful.
This season is challenging.
This season is like nothing we have ever walked through.
But on a day like today, I look up and I pause.
I take a deep breath and I submit to the stillness.
I ask God to take this anxiety and this fear.
I know that we all want answers for ourselves and our loved ones.
I think that we can be scared but still courageously count on His provision and protection.
I know thats not easy.
I know that this is a time of unbelievable strain and sorrow for so many.
But God is still here.
I feel it in the suns first rays through my bedroom window in the morning.
I feel it in the breeze blowing through the trees lining my street.
The more I look, the more I see grace growing all around me.
Despite all odds, despite the withering effects of a worldwide pandemic.
Miraculously, mercifully, its there.
So, this season of life feels like winter.
But I see the spring in the world around me.
I feel the spring taking hold of my heart.
The sun is shining today.
Hope is in bloom.
And take heartthe Lord is still working.
