Growing up I always heard people say that “April Showers bring May flowers”. I personally believe that the April rains come to cleanse us of the harsh winter season and bring us to a radiant and beautiful spring with flowers and sunshine. I believe that many of the events of life also serve a similar purpose.
For example, in the aftermath of a challenging and draining relational season we need the showers of God’s Word to cleanse us and free us from the coldness that come with the proverbial “winters’ of relationships.
The icy conditions of Winter often kill off some of the beauty we enjoy and experience in the “spring” and “summer” seasons of life. Winter also kills things like pests and other and things that don’t appeal to humans. 
However when Spring arrives some of the beautiful things (flowers) and not so beautiful (pest) are resurrected. I believe God has purpose in it all: nature, relationships, and life as whole.
In this season of new birth, my hope is that you will allow great things that may have died
(or hibernated) in your winter season to resurrect in this new season to be stronger and more beautiful than ever. A few great ways to see this flourishing include:
1. Taking time for yourself to renew your mind, relax, grow closer to the Lord and spend time improving yourself and healing from the winter of life.
2. Being willing to forgive. We are in constant need of the Lords forgiveness so, be open to forgive any misunderstandings, hurts and the mistakes of the people in your winter months so that you are free to blossom into all you were created to be in this new season.
3. Welcoming in new love. The winters of relationships come and go just like the natural seasons, so my hope is that you will choose to love the people who come into your life, no matter what the season, just as God does us!
As you prepare to enjoy the new life ushered in during the Spring, remember that I am here to help coach you through any remnants of the Winter that may be painfully lingering. To get started on your FREE 20-minute consultation, contact me here.
