All things new//

Colorado is a little late in receiving the Spring memo...better late than not at all, I suppose! Within the last two weeks we have gone from sticks to leaves, mud to flowers and tumbleweeds to grass! You never realize how much you appreciate growth and color until you spend of few months in the winter! So spring, or should I say...summer is upon us, and I am so excited to be able to spend more time outside enjoying the CO wilderness life! Maybe get a chaco tan?? HECK NO ;)

As I think about this new and refreshing season upon us, I can't help but rejoice in the fact that I have been able to sit back and watch the Lord making each one of these women new each day! It has been one of the sweetest things to be a part of! Through conversations, laughing, studying, cleaning, hurting, cooking and taking care of their children, He is rebuilding and restoring brokenness. It has been such a privilege to be around these women! The house is really becoming a community! Some of the times I have enjoyed the most is just hanging out by the coffee pot while listening to their stories or helping them cook dinner!

This whole season of my life can really be described the same as these women! He is making me new. As a Christian it is easy to get stuck in a rut, a routine that leads to nothing but a calloused heart and stale walk. There is no longer fruit that is being produced but instead bitterness and a hard heart.
You just get comfortable and you lose your child like faith! I needed to come here. I needed to be refreshed and be reminded of the authority and sovereignty of the Lord in my life and be put in my place to stop over thinking and analyzing! I don't want a season change to have to bring me out of a rut again!! I am so thankful that He is making me new each day, and I pray the same for you! Let's remember where we were and who we were when we first knew Him, and praise Him for the work He has done and His continued faithfulness!
