Life is like a....

 Life is kind of like a class, if you will. We start to fall behind when we forget to read the textbook and talk to the Teacher.       - Dan Barr

I like it Dan. I hope you don't mind that I just took your words but I think everyone should benefit from this.

This concept has been coming up alot. As Christians if we don't get our dose of Jesus or our "Daily Bread" if you will then we start going off track. The strength that we find in Him starts fading. The syllabus that we got at the beginning is there for a reason. God gave us what we need to become more like His son. Now it's our turn to complete the assignments and participate in class so that our faith doesn't wilter like some of our grades do mid-semester. So like Dan said, talk to the Teacher and make sure you stay in tune with whats going on in this chapter of your life. Don't think you can copy someone else's homework either because in this class no one's homework is the same :)

Spring Flowers

Finally, proof of spring! I found these at Messiah during Spring Break and rushed to take a picture before the ground swallowed them back up. A week and a half later it snowed there...go figure.

That's kinda been like life lately. So many plans for the future; whether they be for this summer or for a few years from now. But then reality hits, oh yea I have to finish all this work before I can get to my next weekend let alone my next sweet escape from reality. I'm glad God gives me my own little patches of flowers during the rough times. Sometimes they are in disguise and sometimes they smack me in the face. It's like He's saying stop worrying, I'm here for you and I know when you need your flowers to peek out of the snow. Thanks God, I love flowers, nice work.
