Thank you, Thomas! We’re excited about the move, and I’m especially excited about the barbecue!

I know what you mean, Chris. And May kind of sneaks up on me every year! Lol. Maybe next year I’ll remember to brace myself and prepare as much as possible in advance so I can enjoy being “in the moment” more.

Yes trust in God Aimee. He will provide! I’m glad North Carolina is calling ya’ll home. The best barbeque in the world, family and life-long treasured friends. Deciding on whether ya’ll want to go to the beach or the mountains for vacation. And good schools for your children. Tarheel basketball and football! Amen to that…yeah! But things will get better. :) Thomas

Absolutely true and positively beautiful. I wrote a post last year and a post this year about May. My hopes and prayers were about being “in the moment”… it’s so so hard when life is on overdrive!!

Oh Aimee,

You should so take the concept above and turn it into a children’s book! The last part of it reminded me of some of my favorites. Your tone and words would inspire young minds. I loved this one. In some ways it touched the writer in me more than any before it in it’s simplicity. Excellent!

Thank you, Chris. I’m honored that you’re here. I’m still learning how to do G+, so I appreciate you mentioning that you put me in your circles there. That helped me figure out why your name sounded familiar :)

I find God’s gift of spring to be another tangible illustration of the pattern of redemption and sanctification He offers us in Christ. I considered many scriptures to include with this post. For example, Lamentations 3:22-24 describes God’s mercies as being new every morning. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul goes so far as to state that in Christ our very beings are new creations. Many of us commemorate Christ’s birth in December, and the renewal of May reminds us again how He changes us.

Hi Aimee:
Just as a way of re-introduction:
I added you to my G+ circles about two or three weeks ago after a friend of mine I work with discovered your blog and thought I’d enjoy reading what you said. She was right, by the way.

Weird that you bring up May and December bing similar because of finances, as I just went through an imaginary financial challenge myself. I’m out the other side now however and things look brighter.

Spring in Connecticut is actually one of my favorite times of year for all te reasons you listed:
Renewal and the sense that we get to start again.

I look forward to your next column, Aimee.
