I pictured nature bursting into life and feeling trolled, since our baby was supposed to be born in this season as well!
Today on February 23rd it was sunny and about 70 degrees outside, but instead of feeling the sense of dread and resentfulness I thought I would feel, I felt like nature was preaching to me and offering me hope.
It's still Winter. It has been a darker season than usual. The air has been bitter and cold, and the hardened earth doesn't seem capable of receiving and nurturing new life.
But we didn't have to wait for Winter to be over before we felt the warmth of Spring.
I don't want to wait until God "seems" good to me to believe that he IS good to me.
Before I feel the joy of expectancy in my body again, I want to praise him.
The time for light, for warmth, and for growth is now.
Right now, in the Winter.
