Hi Faith Family,

You wouldn't know it by looking out the window but Spring is right around the corner. In fact the official start of Spring is March 20 and next Sunday it is already time to set our clocks forward an hour. I have to confess that Spring has never been my favorite season. It starts out cold, rains a lot, and most of the season is muddy and dirty. Still even I can't deny that there is something special about this time of year.
The rain of Spring washes away the dirt of a long Winter season and the softening of dirt into mud allows seeds to take root. Yes, Spring is a celebration of new life.

Like seasons in the natural world our spiritual lives go though similar cycles. So my prayer this week is that you might enter into a new season in your spiritual life. Allow God to wash away the dirt of a long winter season and create in you new growth that will bear fruit for his Kingdom.

God Bless!
