April was full of chaotic weather that couldn’t seem to make up its mind (is it spring yet? only 3 days a week? sure, why not). As it turns out, even the chaos can be a recipe for life and growth, which I saw in my own life. That being said, I don’t mind seeing April in the rearview mirror.

I suppose it makes sense during this season that the first word that comes to mind is gratitude. Gratitude for what life looks like, gratitude for 25 years of loving my grandpa, gratitude for the weather, gratitude for the opportunities ahead. God is good, all the time.
