seasons.

today we went on a walk at a nearby park and i breathed a sigh of relief when the warmth of the sun touched my bare skin. i held Ryan's hand - as well as my own breath, expecting that a chilly, brisk wind would follow us but none did. flowers were beginning to blossom on all of the trees. a gaggle of geese swam in the pond. mothers pushed their babies in strollers, chatting and giggling together. runners on their ipods cheerily ran by, while several people and their dogs walked alongside each other. apparently, everyone else was sensing that  spring is here.

just yesterday, i literally ran from our car into the grocery store because of the frigid winds and colder temperatures (for the south!). and today was the complete opposite - according to Ryan and the local weather man, the temperatures are only supposed to escalate. 

and as i thought about the change of season, i also have been thinking a lot of the changing seasons in our lives, so this verse came to mind:

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. He has made everything beautiful in it's time.

~ Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11~

this verse has been a comfort to me during the past several weeks as Ryan and i wait on God's timing for our future. may it also bring you some comfort for whatever season of life you maybe be in, friend.

much love.

{happy friday, friend.}
