spring is here~

Yesterday was an enjoyable day with friends attending the tulip fields in Mt. Vernon, Washington. It was beautiful! After getting through considerable traffic we landed in a field with acres' worth of tulips. Red tulips, purple tulips, pink tulips, violet tulips. It was beautiful. A bit of a shame we weren't allowed to walk in the in between rows; I did not realize this at first, but was soon flagged down by one of the field workers. Rows and rows of tulips is quite a beautiful sight, and it was nice to have such a gorgeous day on which to experience it.

breathe in,

breathe out,

look around,

and in a moment of

self awareness realize

i am in the midst of shalom.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12.1-3.
