Summer and I have a love hate relationship.

You see, where I come from down south, summer means incredible heat and humidity. Perhaps that's your thing, but it's certainly not mine. However, I've found that after three years in Minnesota, summer is a welcome reprieve from the seemingly endless winter.

One of the ways that God reminds me of His unchanging nature is through the seasons. Each season brings a new perspective on God's faithfulness. Sometimes it's a struggle to see God in our circumstances,particularly through difficult seasons. Though He is invisible, if we look closely enough we'll find Him. The song "Invisible God" (by Andrew Peterson) illustrates this point well: "And oh, I long to see your face, invisible, invisible God. All the works that you have made are clearly seen and plain as day. So mighty and tender, O Lord, let me remember, that I can see you everywhere, invisible God...In the long, cold death that the winter brings, and the sweet resurrection of spring."

Blessings to you all through your summer!
