Happy {NEW} Year!

{NEW}.

Ah, sounds so good to me!

I need {new} right now.

I am craving {new}!

Welcome 2010! I am so ready for you to be here! Please bring happy things! I love that after Christmas comes ... a {new} year. Jesus and then ... {new}! Isn't that just like Him! He brings ... {new}.

Can you tell I am pumped up and ready to wash away 2009 and bring on 2010 yet. I am journeying on looking forward to this year.
December 31st is almost always a nostalgic day for me. This year though I feel like I am standing at the cusp of something. Just ready for it ... whatever, it is and slowly I am starting to feel more alive then before. I pray God kindles the fire He is starting in my heart and provides me with the courage to walk the road He has for me!
I am praying for these things in the {new} year ...

  • Spending some time seeking the maker of all things {new} and what He has up His sleeve for our family!
  • Growing as a parent. Watching our little man grow. Seeking God's wisdom for guiding this precious soul through life.
  • Understanding the story He has given me (and us) and how I can use that in the place He has me now.
  • Finding a way to get my baby sister closer to me! This is starting to become more of a necessity rather than a hope. My heart can't take many more miles or time between us. Sisters weren't meant to live apart.
  • Being more grateful for the people in my life. Spending time with our parents and sharing the joys of the watching our son and their grandson grow.
  • Finding my community. A soft place to land, with real, loving, forgiving people. Who know your story and love you anyway.
  • and finally, being me & being perfectly ok with that!
