The things I learned today. And some Easter pictures.

Planting the jellybeans...

Glorious!

I seem to learn the most when I am struggling. For weeks now I have foolishly been drawing some sort of metaphor from this. It dawned on me today that the reason I learn so much when I am struggling is because I am more humble (thus, more teachable). That's it. That's all there is to it.

I also learned today that the Lord always always always always provides a way for me to do the right things in the right way and to be happy. Often he will even provide a way to ease my burdens that are not directly spiritually related. The problem is I sometimes, unwittingly, pass over his way and go my own way trying to figure things out for myself and do things for myself. I would like to stop this.

It is late and that is all for now, but there is more coming later.
