Spring Fever

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the seasons. I’ve been thinking about the literal seasons, and also seasons in our lives. Lately it seems like everyone has spring fever, including myself. The truth of it is, we’re sick of the cold & wet. Just like the nasty season of winter, we sometimes have nasty seasons in our lives. These times in the valley are hard. Sometimes they make us question God. Sometimes they make us wonder why we always get the short end of the stick. These seasons wear us out, and stretch our limits. But these times also make us grow. They make us cling to those close to us, and grow deeper together.

Just like a spoiled child, if we got good things all of the time, we wouldn’t appreciate them. We would just expect them. But because we are sometimes deprived of things, it makes it all seem that much sweeter when we get what we really want. So, I am going to try to appreciate the hard seasons, because I know a good one is just around the corner.

Here goes nothing

So, here goes. I have been bombarded with the idea of starting a blog. This is kind of intimidating and unknown territory for me, but when I take a leap like this, it usually has a good outcome. I have also been wanting to get some thoughts out on "paper" for a long time now, so this is my opportunity. Melting my personal and business life together, I think that's what this might become. I know I won't be able to be a daily or even weekly blogger, but I will try to be somewhat diligent to it. It'll be good for me, right?
