Longing for Sunshine!

Okay....I'm over winter, I need some sunshine.  I am sitting at my desk looking out the window and all I see is darkness and clouds, and I can tell it is super cold out there. I am longing for sunshine. I am tired of wearing a coat, I am tired of scrapping my windows in the morning, I am tired of dreading going to the store because I know it is cold outside, I am tired of being tired, and I am tired of SNOW!!!  Right now it is 84 degrees in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, just saying. Right now it is 36 degrees with NO sunshine in sight. *sigh*

My birthday is in November and I really wanted a bike, but I knew I would not be able to ride until at least March, so Matt promised me I could get it in the Spring. I cannot wait to get it and get out in the sunshine and get some much needed exercise. I already know what bike I want. 

I want to be able to sit outside, soak up the sun and read.

I want to walk around my grandparents' pond.

I want to go to the zoo. 

I want to sweat.

I want to play fetch with my dog.

I want to wear tank tops and flip flops.

Although I am longing for these things and at the moment they seem no where in sight, I know they are coming. Tomorrow is the first day of March. When I hear the word March I get super excited because I know Spring will soon be here. Although I HATE winter with all of my being I am thankful for my warm coat, warm PJ's, heat in my car and home, a roof over my head and walls to keep the wind out, socks and shoes, hot coffee, chili, and so much more.

Sometimes we need to rant on about the things we are wanting, but in the midst of that rant it is SUPER important to be thankful for the things that we DO have at this moment. 

Thank You Lord for blessing me with the warm things that keep me comfortable during winter.

Until next time...I Thessalonians 5:18
