It intrigues me that things can change in only a couple of days. I left on Thursday night to lilacs that had barely bloomed yet. Today (Monday) when I opened my apartment door, I was surprised to see that leaves had come on the branches.
and the whisper happened.. "this is the way things happen in your life".
There were days in the fall when I felt as though nothing was changing in my life.. and even a couple weeks ago I felt this way too. I felt as though nothing was moving forward and that I was caught in the normal. However, lately God has really been pouring out a Spirit of quickening in my life that he shows me something new about him, something he wants to heal, and something he wants to bloom inside of me. I love the gentle whispers of each day, the deep revelations, the way my head pounds until I can sit here in my papasan chair and just wait to bang it out on a keyboard.
Thanks Jesus for the changes that you have made in my life.. in a couple of days that we go from seeing no budding to seeing the leaves and the flowers beginning to show. I thank you that you work this way.. that you are making all things beautiful in your time.. I thank you that you love me enough to move me forward in the Spirit.. and that you are always gently whispering to me.
Some of you may feel as though you see no buds- but to you I say.. The leaves are coming! The buds are coming! The spring is coming! God is perfecting things.. He truly is.. and sometimes you do not see the process until the flower has bloomed.
You are so loved! Papa planned every little detail of you and he forgot nothing. Just look for the little steps because when its all finished it is wonderfully beautiful.
