Season of spring and seasons of life....

We don't have much going on right now except for enjoying this wonderful weather. I am so glad it's Spring...finally! I know it was official a few weeks ago but it decided to snow that day so it was not really official to me until I got my first of Spring cleaning done! Awhhh if feels so wonderful... I am trying to stay on top of it now...I got alot done and alot of de-cluttering done. My home is not one that usually appears to be cluttered from the outside however if you open any cabinet or closet I can not promise you that you won't get knocked upside the head or loose a finger or two looking in a drawer of mine. I think I finally have gotten most of them straight and organized. At least the best I can. I want to be an organized person so bad, however no matter how hard I try I just don't think I will ever be as organized as I want to be. I have come to grips and I am completely ok with this now. I realized as soon as I let it go and quit trying so hard is when things started coming together. Things may not be as perfect as I would like them to be but it is better than the alternative...I had been completely robbed of my joy. I hate that it took me awhile to see it but I am glad that the Lord laid that conviction upon my heart. Trying to be something your not is so exhausting. It started from something as small as wanting to be organized and turned into a handful of things that I was trying to force in my life and change to be someone different. I don't know if you have ever tried to be someone else but it does not work. I began to walk around with a plastic smile and trying to be little miss perfect..hahahaha well it does not last for long. Obviously there was only one perfect man and He died on the cross so that I can be set free--so that I can be me-just the little ol' me he created! I love it and I love being myself-His Beloved. The great news is my joy was fully restored and yours can be too. Thank you Jesus for loving us enough to not let us stay the way we are.

OH and here are two little dudes that also bring me great joy! Couldn't post without pics :)
