New Growth

These are the first leaves on my Clematis Vines beside my front door. I wish I had taken a picture of it before it started to bloom again because right before Spring I always think I have killed it the previous season! But then it starts to grow again and it gives me hope. I've been thinking a lot about this plant lately and love the visual picture it gives me each year of what God has done in my life--He has brought life to the deadness in me. I can't wait to share more pictures of this beautiful plant as it continues to blossom throughout the Spring.
