March 30 – Spring Splash

Lake Superior spits the final remnants of winter onto the shore as it surrenders its last sheets of ice. Cold spray coats the camera lens. Water droplets cling to my glasses. It feels like a fond farewell — winter’s last breath before the landscape begins to warm.

Strong onshore winds push the floating ice toward land. The waves become a conveyor belt. As they crash, chunks are shoved over the rocks. Pieces grind against each other. Some are stranded high above the waterline.

Lake Superior can move an astonishing weight when it chooses. The strong winds rammed these ice boulders into place with tremendous force.

“He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?” — Psalm 147:17

The same God who commands the winter storms also ushers in the spring thaw. His power is unmistakable in the crashing waves and grinding ice. It humbles us. It steadies us. And it reminds us that even in seasons of chaos, He remains in control. Spring is coming — not by accident, but by design.
