but oh, well.
The weather here right now just makes me want to dance and sing. It's soo absolutely gorgeous and pretty and bright outside. I love it.
Yes, I know. It's still the middle of February.
Yesterday I took my dog for a run. Outside. I was so pumped. And the past couple of days I havent worn a coat to school, just a northface-jacket-look-alike that I bought at Walmart. I've started drinking lemonade. I wanna go out and ride the horses again, and I can't wait for softball practices to start. I love the transition between winter and spring.
At the beginning of winter I always think it's beautiful. The first snow, a white Christmas, snow angels and hot chocolate. But I adore when it starts to look like spring. The sun is out longer and at 7 am when I open the blinds in my bathroom it's not pitch dark anymore. This morning as I was on my way to school the sunrise and clouds were dazzling. The sky was blue, and the clouds purple, then right at the place where they meet the sun came shining through, making the lining of the clouds gold. It was wonderful.
You know the song 'Back to December' by Taylor Swift? If not I think you should listen to it. It's such a pretty song and totally caputures the way I've been feeling lately.
So this is me swallowing my pride
standing in front of you saying im sorry for that night,
and I go back to december all the time.
Turns out feedom ain't nothing but missing you
wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to december, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to december all the time.
I wish I could do that.
But I'm beginning to see something different.
I'm seeing what God wants me to see and what He wants me to sing.
I'm deciding that I'd rather not go back to December. I'm looking forward to the spring.
God showed me that a few mornings ago when I was listening to this song thinking about the past. There's no point in going back to December when God is the One who told you to leave it. Why drown yourself in the past when he's got spring waiting right around the corner for you?
I hope you look for spring. :)
