The Holy Spirit has found me


This afternoon while I was walking to the school today to pick up the kids, I was listening to my ipod and turned the corner onto Bexley Park I was instantly overjoyed by the beauty of the flowering trees that ran down the center of the road. As I was looking at the trees the song God of Wonders came on and it got me thinking about how beautiful God has made the earth.

As I was walking down a little farther I noticed a tree that still has all it's shriveled up leaves that didn't fall down last Autumn. As I looked at that tree and listened to the lyrics of the song it struck me that the tree in front of me didn't get new life this spring like all the others and it reminded me that not everyone is lucky enough to find their Faith.



This morning I was talking to one of our friends and apparently he told Alex that I scared him because I was so positive. Over the winter I did get really down in the dumps and it got to the point that I didn't even want to leave the house and that's how I felt up until this week. This week has been really strange for me - I really feel that the Holy Spirit has found me. I don't really know how to explain it but I find myself wanting Sunday to get here so I can go and worship and attend Adventures in Faith. I have a hunger for knowledge about the Bible and a spring in my step.

I also feel I have been very blessed with my wonderful husband. He has always been by my side no matter what I'm doing. We have been through a lot together and I can't think of anyone else I would want to share this with.

I am very excited that we are renewing our vows because I feel like right now is one of those times when our relationship has grown even stronger - I really never thought it could get any stronger as my cup has been filled to the brim but apparently it is now running over because he just makes me feel so loved.

I really feel right now that we are definitely in the right place, it is the right time, and God is with us!

I will leave you with a beautiful picture from my walk today.

Peace be to God.
