Do you have a Spring Bucket List?   A Bucket list is all the things you would like to do this spring.  It might include last years "I wish I had done that" and "maybe next year" ideas you didn't get to do.  A bucket list is a great way to be sure those items don't get pushed to next years list again.   One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. What does...

Rise up with joy, freedom, fun, and adventure. Release the tethers holding you down and rise. You must release the cords of worry, fear, and doubts of the future to rise to new adventures with me.  Stoke the fire, release the flames, rise up and go with the flow!"   As I meditated on this, here are a few thoughts that Holy Spirit shared with me.

I don't know about you but there seems to be a letdown after a big holiday.  After all the activities of the last week, you may be asking, "what now?".  Imagine what the followers of Jesus felt.  From Palm Sunday, followed by Passover and ending on Easter Sunday, it was a busy week!   It must have been a roller coaster of emotions for those who lived it. We, of course, have the advantage of knowing how it all turned out. But those who followed Jesus either forgot what He had told them or never really believed it.  Some of His...
