Spring

Spring is here.

While every day is spring break for me, 

last week was especially fun. 

Instead of my usual schedule where I keep

myself busy during the day and spend time

with people when they get done 

with work or school, 

I got to celebrate a week off for all of the CSU

students.

It was a week complete with:

sleeping in, family time, beautiful hikes, 

and absolutely gorgeous weather. 

No complaints. 

Step by step.

I am leading you, step by step, through your life. Hold my hand in trusting dependence, letting me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy-even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting my promises to care for you. Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to me. I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that, and the one after that. Relax and enjoy the journey in my presence, trusting me to open up the way before you as you go.
