Sometimes I'm really thankful I live in a place that experiences all four seasons. I was walking outside today and felt how warm it was and thought "oh Spring, please don't tease me" haha. It got me thinking about how happy I become when it starts to get warm again and how I'm pretty happy right now in my life. I thought about how far I've come emotionally in the last four months. Then I noticed a parallel between the seasons and the seasons of my life.
As summer came to and end, so did my relationship. I felt drained and dead just like the trees and flowers around me. Everything was lifeless and colorless with no sign of spring in sight, with no sign of healing in sight.
Now here we are mid January and Spring is right around the corner. Although Winter isn't over just yet, days like today remind me that life is coming soon. Healing and restoration come back every year in the form of green grass, lush trees, and warm sun. I'm confident Spring will come in my life soon too starting a brand new season with so many possibilities. My Winter isn't over yet, but my Spring is hinting at it's upcoming arrival. If spring turns the brown grass green and restores the empty trees to their original fullness, imagine how much more Spring can do for me.
