I have spring fever! Birds chirping, flowers blooming, new life all around us, a reprieve from the cold air, and Easter…they are all beautiful reminders of God’s love for us and the creation He made for us to enjoy. Spring exhibits the imagery of redemption, renewal, and rebirth. It is God alive in this world and in us. I pray you experience all the wonders of spring our God has to offer!

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
