This week marks the arrival of spring – the season of rebirth, renewal, and resurrection. Of all the seasons, I believe it is the closest to those remarkable days when God said, “Let there be—”
The very first thing the Bible says about God is that He created.
No wonder we try to imitate His creativity.
We write, paint, sculpt, sing, plant gardens, train animals, teach children, build houses and furniture, make quilts, cakes, and cars.
Some of us bring order out of chaos in closets, checkbooks, filing systems, and data collections.
Some of us save lives.
Others are compelled to explain and elaborate on what they’ve discovered.
A few of us like to wrangle words. Others wrangle cattle, horses, or toddlers.
No matter what we do, God’s thumbprint is on our hearts. His quiet empowerment helps us do what He designed us to do, and to do it the best way we know how.
As we step into spring, the season of new life, let’s apply the words of Peter – fisherman/water-walker/Jesus-follower:
“…trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you” (1 Peter 4:19 NLT)
Such encouragement! Not only will He never fail us, He’s also not finished with us either. One day Jesus will say, “Look, I am making everything new!” (Rev. 21:5).
What a day!

A sudden gust whipped around the corner, hushing the birdsong and rattling the rosebushes. Clouds scuttled past the sun, and in the weakened light, Elizabeth shrank from the prospect of working for Anthony Rochester.
Was it merely his profession that unsettled her so? He’d said or done nothing inappropriate and, in fact, had behaved himself most gentlemanly. Perhaps that was it. He unfaithful husband’s similar manner had once lured her off course, and she vowed never to be led away again. That and her hasty departure from Denver had formed the foundation of her return to Olin Springs, where she hoped to find her footing once more if given the chance.
If Miss Clarke remembered the generous offer of support she made before Elizabeth left the Hatchett law firm, Rochester would receive a favorable reference letter, appearing to be from the elder Hatchett himself.
She shuddered at the implication.
But Anthony Rochester could be her chance at a new beginning. And she was willing to take that chance in spite of her reservations. ~An Unexpected Redemption

Thank you for this reminder of God’s amazing creation and His power.
Amen, Carlyn. He is so good, gracious, and powerful!
God has perfect timing!
He created everything in nature to come to life, go dormant, change colors, get warmer and get cooler just at the correct time every day of the year!
The stars are always in place to give us direction. God’s timing is dependable. We don’t realize how perfectly God’s creations operate. We may take it all for granted because we just depend on it.
When you see the grass turn green and the trees bloom and leaf out give God the praise he deserves. There is nothing that God cannot do.
Happy Spring!
Amen, Karen!
