A new year, a new start, a new beginning...there are many ways to look at the turning of the calendar year. One of my favorite things is taking down the old calendars and putting up fresh new ones. Looking back through the months and seeing what was written on the old...appointments, births, opening of new beginnings.
I will admit 2011 has challenged our family in ways I never ever thought possible but here we are beginning a new year intact, still struggling but in a lot of ways we are stronger, brighter and for me the most important more in love with my Saviour, Jesus.
There are still a lot of left overs from the previous year, challenges that are in progress but I know that trusting Christ is the only answer to moving forward, he knows the path I must take and I shall take the one he lays in front of me.
So today as I look back on the previous year as I change over my calendars I will do it with a prayer of thankfulness in my heart because I know that even if I do not immediately see the positive of a despairing time He does and I trust Him with all of my heart and every fiber of my being.
I pray also for my few friends who read my blog I pray for a day of thankful looking back and eagerness for what lays ahead...the good, bad and the darn right ugly...because there is beauty as we pass through this life with the promise of an eternity waiting for us. We only have to trust our Lord to see it.
May God bless you with His love and may you see the joy in even the hard days...trust, pray, love...
