All Things Spring!

A butterfly photo my mom took last year

    "That is one good thing about this world ... There are always sure to be more springs." (Lucy Maud Montgomery)

    Ah, I love spring. New life abounds as flowers bloom and baby animals take their first steps in the world. You can always hear birds chirping their beautiful songs. The temperature is a perfect blend of warm and cool, often leaning more towards the warm here in the Lowcountry. Long sleeved shirts and pants are exchanged for tank tops and shorts. 

    Spring in the Lowcountry is like an enjoyable sneak preview of summer. Even though I personally am not a summer person, I love spring because of the slow transition to summer, just like how I love fall because of the slow transition to winter. Spring and autumn are my favorite times of year! 

    One of the best parts of spring is the vibrant life everywhere! Flowers, birds, and sunshiny days make wonderful photo subjects! I would ask everyone to take plenty of spring photos and marvel in God's creation! At the end of the season I'll make an online collection for y'all to see. 

With His Love,

Word of the Year Reflection

-
     Tomorrow is the last day of 2023, so recently I've been reflecting on my spiritual growth this year, especially in the area of surrender, as that was my word of the year. Here is what I learned:     1. Surrender is one thing I never should stop working on. I will never be perfect at giving my desires to God and opening myself to His will. Every single day I need to remind myself that the temptation to be a control-freak is real and strong, but I need to combat it diligently.      2. I definitely grew in the area of surrender. God has shown me His will in several different areas in my life, and I learned that when I obey Him, He fills me with His perfect peace.      I'm so thankful for the past year and the growth I've experienced. I pray that He will continue to grow me in the area of surrender.  With His Love,  Alyssa Wells If this post was encouraging, please follow, comment, and share!

Valentine's Day and a Quick Life Update

-
    Hi y'all! Happy Valentine's Day! It's been a while since I posted a life update, but I've been soooooooooo busy! My senior year is coming along well, and in just 100 days I'll be on that stage receiving my diploma! So crazy and exciting! There are also new developments in the book I've been writing, as well as an incredible opportunity to serve God this summer. Finally, I have some exciting news about college, so keep on reading!           So far all of my graduation and senior party planning has been simpler than I thought. I was voted senior representative/coordinator for my class, which basically means I'm in charge of communicating dates and deadlines to members of the class. Not everybody has cooperated well, but most have so I'm counting that a success. Today I recorded my audio speech for the actual graduation. Tomorrow I plan to meet with our senior pastor for an accountability meeting. Looking forward to that!      Back...

Happy New Year and Word of the Year!

     Patience. The Cambridge Dictionary defines it best, in my opinion. According to this English dictionary, patience is "the ability to wait, or continue doing something despite difficulties, or to suffer without complaining or becoming annoyed." The Bible says that when we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will demonstrate patience. Yikes. I know and have always known that patience is not my forte, but I also have always been scared to pray for patience. When you pray for patience, God will definitely give it to you, often through allowing you to go through plenty of patience-testing situations to help you practice. My sister and I often joke when we're stuck behind a slow driver or have every single stoplight turn red when we approach it that one of us must have prayed for patience. And I know it wasn't me.      Because of my obvious lack of patience, I chose this quality to be my word of the year for 2024. I need to grow in this area. I should not im...
