February Song

"Where is that simple day, before colors broke into shades?"

The weather here can't decide if it is spring or winter.  Daffodil heads poke up, while wet snow falls and melts away. The world is very grey, muddy, and wet.

Everything is in shade, it is all mixed - like watercolors.

Life feels like that right now. Blurry, foggy, grey. With mixed emotions, and dim future lurking ahead.

Lean, my word for this year, has proved to be the one thing I most need.

All I can do is lean.

Throwing myself upon the strong arm of Christ, and allowing Him to hold me.

Life is tough, but He will always be there.

And you know something? When you are at you weakest, when life pummels you from every direction, when all you can do is grasp the hem of His garment. He gives strength, healing, and the most unbelievable peace. A peace beyond human understanding.

February skies are notorious for bringing depression. But with our Almighty God holding out His hands, we never need to despair. Just lean and keep your head up. His love for us is pure and bright, without any shade or murky grey.

Lean and wait, basking in the brightness of His glory, these February clouds will soon pull apart, and March sun will shine through.

Lean.
