A new year.
A blank slate.
A book with unwritten pages.
The unknown.
A new beginning.
This new year has left me with some mixed feelings. Excitement in seeing what God has planned for our lives. Alittle tinge of fear of the unknown. I love picturing the chapter in my life's book, blank, unwritten..waiting for this year to unfold. What trials will I be put through? What lessons are in store for me to learn? What unexpected blessings will fall into my path? I don't know about tommorrow but I DO know with certainty Who holds my hand & will lead me on the path unknown.
Looking back on the last year we realize how faithful God has been & how very very blessed we are! While others have gone through some extreme trials we have had a year of blessings. Our year was tried by the economy along with the rest of you, we dealt with our share of sickness, God worked within us & pushed us into uncomfortable situations..but above it all I see how God has had His hand on our lives. How He has cared for us even through hard & trying times. How His mercy & goodness is amazing when I don't feel like we deserve it! He has given & given & I've outright asked Sweet Hubby why?! My heart truly overflows with gratitude & thankfulness for what He has done for us.
Goodbye 2009...
and Welcome 2010..."don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." philippians 4:6&7
What a perfect verse as we begin a new chapter in each of our lives! Happy New Year to each of you and may you find that perfect peace through Christ Jesus.
