Hello everyone!

Well today has been good. I turned 45 today and it really made me sit back and reflect. As many of you know this past year has been one of great transition for me. I've gone through a divorce from a man embroiled so deeply in sin he doesn't see it anymore to being a single parent on my own. I've ridden this roller coaster and done my fair share of crying while on the bottom and sighing while on top. I've found depths of strength I never knew existed. Through all of this I have felt the presence of the Lord so close I could reach out and physically touch Him.

Its the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The seasons have so closely mirrored my own walk to this point. When I first went through the divorce it was becoming fall. Things were shutting down for their long winter sleep. So I had to shut myself away, in the Lord, to heal and come closer to Him.

I sat listening to the Robin birds yesterday and I heard the Lord whisper, so sweetly to me, that just like the spring so I was being reborn. I was born in the month of April. Like brother Dan just said April signifies to open. So a new life in Christ is opening to me. The Robins come back every spring. They are the first birds to arrive and herald the renewing of all things sleeping. He showed me that like my namesakes, I too am waking to a new life in Him. He has used all of nature to speak words of love and encouragement to me. How great our God is and how greatly I love Him. I can't wait to see what He has in store knowing that He plans are going to be awesome.

Thank you everyone for going on this journey with me. I love each one of you and lift you to the Father in love. God bless and keep you.

Sister Robin
