Spring is Blooming

It’s been raining almost non-stop for the past few weeks, but not today!
Spring was out and it was stunning.
I woke up to these beautiful blooms I got from our neighborhood flower shop for 500Yen {$5}, 
and a gorgeous shade of turquoise green in the East China Sea. 
How sweet this truth: God’s mercies and colors are new every single morning. 
I hope you have a beautiful Monday.

    "God's mercies and colors are new every single morning."

    I absolutely love that…I could almost stare at that ocean while meditating on those words.

    Beautiful words and images! Thank you ~

    Always love your pictures Amanda! Spring is here in DC and I'm loving it. Praying for you as you enjoy spring with your growing baby. Stick in there while your hubby is gone. Praying for you both.

    Spring has finally reached us in Germany as well! It's so great to feel the sun on my skin again after this especially long winter. Apparently, the temperatures are going down on the weekend again, but until I plan to enjoy this weather.

    Hope you have a great day!
