A New Thing

“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands."
Isaiah 43:19

It's a new year.
I always struggle to go along with change and keep moving forward. I honestly tend to play "remember when" way too often, and I drag my feet to even be in the present.

I have been challenged in recent days to really embrace where I am. To be present.
To find balance.
I don't wanna miss what the Lord is wanting to do in my heart and life right now.

It's been easy to be distracted. To be busy. To forget about what really matters.

This past year was a great year, but a really hard year for so many reasons. 
I am so thankful for a God that has faithfully walked with me each step of the way.

I am expectantly looking forward to this coming year.
As Andrew and I sat down and talked about some of our goals this year, both small and big, I was reminded of how Faithful God has been to us this past year.

He's a Good, Good. Father.
I am blessed and have been given more grace than I ever deserved.

He is in the business of making all things new, and He is doing something new, and I don't want to miss a moment.
