Well, here I am again and checking in. I need to reach my at least once a month quota!!!
The days are getting so much longer and every time I get home and it is still light outside, I get a big smile on my face. Tulips are beginning to come up and the other day I heard birds chirping while at work with the door open. Of course, living in Chicago, you can't just give in and say "Spring is here!" because winter leaves very slowly... just today we woke up to a light covering of snow on the ground. I can't wait to bust out the t-shirts and see more of the sun and finally bury my winter coat for the next (optimistically 9 months!).
Andrew and I have been insanely busy with both of our jobs as he has taken on new responsibilities in marketing at Crossway and the Forum for me is just around the corner. Yikes.
In the last week, I have been meditating on God's faithfulness. I remember sitting with my dear friend Rebecca a year ago and just beginning to understand the importance of God's promises. When I felt like I had lost so much, even hope, I found hope in those promises alone. It was just a little glimmer, but it was still hope and that kept me going. God promises His redemption. He promises to never leave us. Last year, the Getty's song "Every Promise that He Made" became inexplicably important. Back then, the day on which God would answer His promise in my life seemed unimaginable. And then, on Sunday in College Group, we sang that same song from the Gettys. I could not help but rejoice. God has fulfilled every promise. As new life is beginning to spring up all around, I can't help feel an anticipation of what lies ahead.
Thank you to all of you who have been so encouraging and supportive. I'm sure there will be more, but for now, I better sign off.
