After Winter - there is always Spring

What a difference a day can make.

Something that has always helped me in hard times is to remember that the seasons always change. Every year we have a winter. But after the winter, Spring ALWAYS comes and brings life and hope. I'm in a cold winter right now but I feel spring starting to break - both literally and figuratively.
Today is another cold, dreary day (after a stretch of warm sunny days). It's been a good day to stay home and just read magazines and watch DVR'd shows and put songs on my ipod and just catch up on life.
I'm not much on decorating for the seasons. I like to spend money on things I can display all year - except Christmas - I love to decorate for Christmas. But I don't have anything for Spring. So I broke down yesterday and got a couple of things.

I loved this bunny

And I put a little nest under my cloche.

I've spent most of the afternoon painting my TV Trays. So far the black looks great! And when it finally dries - I'm adding our lime green monogram. I'll put up pictures when it's done. No matter what - it will look better than what it did and make meals more fun!

On another note - I found a new blog this week. This beautiful girl, Angie, is the wife of a singer in the Christian group Selah. They have three precious girls (including twins) and she is pregnant with their fourth daughter. They have been told that this baby will not survive when she is born. I can not imagine the pain they are enduring. She wrote the most beautiful post I have ever read here. Her post portrays EXACTLY how I feel about trusting God in the midst of my pain. I wish I was as eloquent as she is. Please go read it - but take a box of kleenex with you. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.
