March is a feisty month isn't it? The weather roller-coaster of storms and that middle-school-awkward transition of winter to spring then back again gives us a lot of ups and downs. As I've been watching the snow piles melt and green blades shooting up through them, I've been reflecting on how this demonstrates our spiritual growth, too. Amidst the storms of life there's quiet growth going on underneath. We may feel overwhelmed with the weight of all that's on top of us, yet as we tenaciously push through...fresh growth is evident of occurring bit by bit and a day of blossoming awaits. |

As we dig deeper into these verses this month, consider how God is working in you to cultivate your own unique traits. May we all have the patience to wait for His timing for these characteristics to bloom fully for His kingdom. | | |

By the way, if you downloaded one of the earlier versions of the Drawing Near to God reference lists, you may be missing the last couple of verses for March. #day30 - Philippians 3:13-14; #day31 - 1 Corinthians 13:11 The verses for this month and the spring sunshine may inspire you to do some BQ pages for areas you want to grow in your own faith... or seeds you're planting for others.

Grandmother's Flower Garden Template | Biblequiltjournal.comI love how our Bible Quilting community is blossoming like a sweet flower garden, growing in the Lord together! God has blessed us each with different gifts and interests that are as distinctive as a wildflower garden full of bright colors and vibrant textures. |

Butterfly template | Biblequiltjournal.comSpring is just around the corner and we'll see all types of new growth around us. This season always reminds me of the new life we have in Christ, when the old is put away and we take on our new creation in Him. |

BQ Calendar Although this quilt design is called Flying Kite, it reminds me of a pinwheel. I used the attributes of 2 Peter 1:5-7 to fill in the triangular sections. Imagine blowing into a pinwheel and seeing all those attributes blend together! | | |

Shamrock 2 | Biblequiltjournal.comThis Shamrock #2 template was designed by my high school friend, Lara and I'm lucky to have her as part of our BQ community. If you like to do seasonal BQ pages, this will get you set for March! Maybe you'd like to use some of scriptures from the 31 Days of Growth series with it. |
