The Weather is Changing

This time of year is always an adventure here in northeastern Ohio. The weather seems like it is heaving and lurching toward Sping. Two weeks ago it was 70 degrees and sunny. Two days ago it was sleeting and gray. But even then, I could here the birds and they are a dead giveaway that Spring is coming. Sometimes I think this is the way it feels with my spiritual life. I am heaving and lurching my way to new life. Some days I can really sense the change that Christ has made in me and I think everyone else can see it too. My actions are filled with life and love and it is really very cool. Then other days I am gray and sleeting and I don't think anyone can tell that Christ is alive inside of me. But even then I think the birds are singing. There is something inside of me even on the spiritually gray days that tells me there is life in me somewhere. God is never too far away and he is always ready to break out. Today, I will look for the signs of Spring outside and inside. Today I will pray that you see Spring in me.
