Flowers are Red

Spring is here! And I am so happy! Every fall, with the crispness of the air, the smell of burning leaves, and the brilliant colors, I am convinced that nothing could be greater. However, the coming of each spring challenges my love for fall, more and more so every year. This morning as I pulled up to work, I was amazed at the beauty on our campus. Dozens of trees are blossoming and the thousands of tulips our groundskeepers have planted are in full bloom. And they are breathtakingly beautiful. Somebody please remind me why I have an indoor job? Or a job at all? Where, oh where, is my sugar daddy?

In other news, and as many of you have heard repeatedly, I am really excited about my new church. For so many reasons, but most of all because I feel like they, both individually and as a whole, are challenging me to be the truer me... the me I was created to be. Which is exciting because I'm not allowed to be complacent. I'm forced out of my comfort zone. It is good for me. :)

Friends, the day is beautiful. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the air is clear. I was a bit skeptical as to how the day would turn out when I had to break into my own house at 6 am this morning cause I had locked myself out. But so far, so good. GOD is good. (all the time...) And it's on days like this, where there is a longing to do and be so much more, I must stop and ask myself. What would Harry Chapin do?
