These tulips were not there two days ago. As I pulled into my driveway this morning, they were the first thing I noticed. I was quick to see it is symbolic of why God is doing in my life; new growth, new things, and that only He is capable of taking situations that appear barren and hopeless, and quickly make them new. Find hope in empty places, friends. He is able! Isaiah 43:18-19 sprung into my mind as I saw this new evidence of life this morning. ~ Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up. Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. So many things in our world look hopeless, but only if we depend on people or things of this world to revive them.
