Subtle

I've spent so much time waiting for Spring to get here. I think I had it in my head that I was going to have to wait a little longer.

But it came before I was expecting it, which was a nice surprise. We may still have cold snaps, but the flowers are all blooming, the trees are getting leaves, and the kids are able to go outside almost every day because the temperatures are so much warmer.

Just like back in the fall, I can't stop taking pictures of the subtle daily changes as Spring takes over. It happened slowly, but at the same time it seemed like it happened over night.

It reminds me of how sometimes my current situation may seem rough, and look like it stretches out in front of me for a long time. But I always have hope that things can change, that God has a plan, and that His mercies are new every morning. I may need to be content a bit longer, but sometimes those subtle changes I'm longing for can happen while I'm busy enjoying where I am.
