The BBA's
Monthly Challenge for April is to create something that signifies renewal. As we have just celebrated Easter I decided to focus on what renewal means to me right now. I took an old cabinet door and repurposed it to carry a message which reminds me of renewal.
Renewal is to be made new or fresh. There can be a time of renewal after a time of upheaval or unpleasantness.
I think of the spring bulbs growing outside our window--they lie dormant for a year, when the conditions are right they burst forth with vigor and beauty, and then they seem to wither and die.
Only they are preparing for the coming Texas heat and winter to burst forth once more next Spring.
Renewal.
When I think I can't do it alone or I don't deserve it then I am reminded that I am worthy of so much more. That I am worthy of the growth that comes after a dark spell. I am reminded that I am not alone.
And I am grateful for the time of renewal.
Thanks to
Splendid Little Stars for creating this great challenge!
