As I sit by the pond it's surface barely moving clear enough to see the mossy bottom on a clear cool evening filled with floating swarms of tiny nats and a hint of coming summer I glory in all of gods wonderful creation. Ducklings. Tiny baby bunny rabbits gray swan ducklings a first for me. So many new little creatures that have only been alive for maybe a week their parents cautiously watching me walk by and find my seat on the nearby picnic table softly quaking or rustling about in the bushes just to warn their children there could be possible danger. As I sit down a mother duck and two ducklings splash quickly away across the pond to the opposite bank I think of how this is one of the most glorious pictures of our god I have ever seen. He watches over so diligently so caring and so gentle. But always there to tell us to run to watch out for the danger that is so much dangerous than me sitting down at the table. I watch the ducklings dnking into the water just as their parents do tryong to copy them they are learning survival skills right in front Of my eyes skills that will keep them alive. Important things just like the important things I have been learning here at capernwray. Things that will kep me alive for well eternity. Skills that I have learned starting with my parents at home and now with many "parents" here. Skills I learn direct fr god through his word and through my brothers and sisters. With spring in full swing great excitent is in the air but also extreme sadness and anxiety. I have to say good bye to this place soon say goodbye to this country. Say goodbye to the absolutely amazing people I have come to love. Is itnot fitting that at this time in the year when everything is new fresh and starting over that I to must start over be fresh and have yet another "new life". I have to grow up now. Be on my own next year. It's spring time. I've seen lots of them and yet this one holds great significance in my life.
But there is still a little chill in the air a little bit of the hard winter England has seen this year is holding on. The winter in me won't fade that easy either it clings on with all it'd strength and some help from the enemyas he tries to foil gods wonderful plan for life. He doesn't like the spring Happening in me he hated it and he will do all he can to freeze it over again. I must fight back swith all the spring I have with a much greater help from god the father. His springtime is so much more powerful than any frost the enemy can send my way.
