No looking back! SPRING forward ---->

I woke up today with a new feeling. After meditating/reading, praying, & logging on facebook, I knew that something was different. In my prayer, I asked God to make my thoughts... new, my approach to handle various situations... new, my perspectives...new, my visions & aspirations....new, my courage & strength....new, and my love for him, myself, & others....new. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't realize that today was actually the first official day of SPRING; a new season. Wow.

The only song I could think of was Israel Houghton's song, MOVING FORWARD, as it relates to this time in my life. Spring is an indication that "newness" is here. I'm reminded of 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) as well..."Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; the old has gone, the new has come"! All of the rustic colors of the leaves, the dark colors of fall & winter, and the cold temperatures have now passed & spring has sprung. In spring, you will see bees & bugs, beautiful, vibrant colors of the flowers, etc., another indication that its time to come out of the darkness & step into the light!

I said all of that to say this, its a new season! Spring forward into action by obeying God & doing as he instructs. Regardless of what happened in the winter (the past), God allowed you the opportunity to see the 1st day of a brand new season! We will never ever have a Spring 2012 ever again, so don't take this newness for granted. Allow God's love for you to beautifully bloom in your life! Happy Spring everyone! Let us all, MOVE FORWARD! ~♥ Nina
