Both seasons are necessary, I think, but there needs to be a turn toward progress sometime. :)<br /><br />I love the pictures!

That's when we have to reflect on what God has done for us in the past and how He's carried us through and caused things to work out for good. Yet when life throws us a curve ball, those two things seem to be our first instincts. <br /><br />Glad you are making progress. Hang in there. I promise, He won't disappoint. <br /><br />Wish I could send some of this wonderful weather your way. We're supposed to hit 80 by the end of the week. Makes me fearful of one REALLY hot summer. But all you cold weather folks and take comfort in knowing that there is a tradeoff in this nice weather. Allergies are running rampant. Mountains Cedar and oak are everywhere because there's been no cold snap, so even those who have never suffered before are feeling the affects.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-33145501381096167252016-02-16T11:20:44.607-05:002016-02-16T11:20:44.607-05:00Just catch and release this time, Sandra.

Brrrrr.<br /><br />My one word is Irish -- Tearmann -- pronounced chair-ma, soft on the ch and emphasis on the ma — English translation — refuge; sanctuary<br /><br />I want to seek refuge in my Lord. Learn to let go, let God, seeking the peace of that special understanding so I can draw closer to Him. And, in doing so, I hope to be able to offer sanctuary to others.<br /><br />I think I'm making progress on the seeking refuge in God. Have had a lot of challenges since the beginning of the year and I am seeking Him first more and more instead of becoming anxious or worrying myself sick. It's been a hard lesson to learn, but a worthwhile one.<br />Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-67391258243909824942016-02-16T08:51:23.104-05:002016-02-16T08:51:23.104-05:00Love all the photos of the ranch.
