Got Spring in Your Steps?

Happy Spring! We decided to venture out into the great “known” – to the walking path around our community. A friend had posted: “We have bluebonnets right here at home!” And lo and behold – she was right.

Now, was it a full-on Texas bluebonnet explosion? No. But was it enough to make us shout “Hallelujah, Spring is here!”? Absolutely! And if that wasn’t enough, the redbud trees were showing off too, budding with new life!

Spring is a season that knows how to make an entrance -- bold, beautiful, and bursting with energy. And I realized, it’s time to take a cue from creation and get a little spring in my steps!

That phrase -- spring in our step -- means we’re walking lighter, feeling lifted, like a weight has been taken off our shoulders. Ever been bogged down by worries, only to get good news that makes you feel like you could skip down the street? That’s springing! And if there’s ever a time to embrace that feeling, it’s now.

Spring is God’s way of reminding us that new life isn’t just for the flowers -- it’s for us too. The world comes alive in color, the air feels fresher, and Easter arrives to declare the greatest renewal of all: Christ lives! If that doesn’t put a bounce in our steps, what will?

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." – Isaiah 43:19

And here’s the best part -- when we walk with a spring in our step, it’s contagious. Our joy, our gratitude, our excitement for life -- it spills over onto others. Like the birds that wake up singing, we too should have a song of praise on our lips and a heart full of thanksgiving.

So, let’s walk with complete assurance that we know and are known by the Creator of Springtime Himself. And really mean it! Let’s be people who exude God’s love, joy, and renewal with every step. Because He made us with built-in springs -- not just for walking, but for rebounding in faith, hope, and love every single day.

So let's take that first step, add that bounce, and let’s spring forward in faith and joy for wonderful Spring! 🌸
