Revive Me

So has we all know, spring has yet to, well, spring. We seem to get a taste every now and again but for the most part it seems as though it is still winter. I was talking to one of the ConC ministers today and jokingly asking her why she is letting it be winter still. She kind of went on this imaginary spill about how amazing it will feel when it finally feels like spring.
She was talking about how the rain must come before the greatness of spring. She said think about what it will feel like to breath in and those breaths feel like we just went for a run and how good that run felt and how blue the sky is and how good the wind feels and how we could just find a patch of grass that is mostly unkept, how we will just plop back in it and enjoy how soft it is against us, there will be in mud for us to get on us, no dog poop to accidentally lay in (there is a lady who brings her dog to do its' thing in the front lawn). We will feel cleaner after getting up than when we laid down in the grass. There were probably so other things said but those are the ones that stuck out to me especially when this song by a band called Take No Glory called I Run to You came on my playlist.
We keep asking where spring is and whether it has forgotten about us and while we ask that about spring now, we often as that about God and I think this song describes it all perfectly...
