There is still pain in life. There is still sadness and heaviness. And even recently, in the dead of winter, I can find myself just wanting the sun to come, just wanting to smell the fresh air of spring, just wanting something new. I find myself feeling lonely and like I’m just going through the motions so much that I can often forget. I forget that God has already given me something new. I forget that I have access to that newness every single day.
