Here we are in a new year. A year in which we have a clean slate. A year in which we can develop “new years resolutions” but in all actuality when you think about God we get the chance to start over EVERY TIME we mess up. God forgives us again and again. He never gives up on us. Never denies us His forgiveness. How amazing is that? When you think about it, He just will keep on loving us, no matter how many times we fall. No matter how many times we give up. He is still there patiently lovingly waiting for us to try again.
This year my hope and my prayer is that this is my best year yet, in my relationship with Him, that I can so completely fall in love with Him that no matter who I come in contact with, that they will sense Him in me. My prayer this year is that throughout every circumstance that the focus will always be on Him.
I so often times find myself just amazed at my life and amazed at God’s constant provision in seemingly shocking ways. This life, this journey of mothering four children, three with chronic illness, being a nurse, being a wife, and trying to raise a family in the way God has called me to can be overwhelming. Can be challenging, but in every way can be beautiful. This life, this journey, with all it’s twist and turns is a blessing. Start to finish, a blessing. And I am so very thankful that God has called me to be on it. I am so thankful that He has taken the wheel, and I am along for the beautiful ride.
