In 1 day, 3 hours and 46 mintues it will officially be 2009...
In this same amount of time people all over the world will be celebrating, spending time with friends and family and reminiscing on the memories of 2008. This turning of the year also represents many resolutions that will be made and even more that will quickly end January 2nd...please don't be offended, you know it's true:)
As I look back on this year, it is astounding to me all of the changes that have occured in my life and all of the growing I did. There have been many adjustments made, some loss, new relationships, old one's nurtured and grown, chapters closed and begun... and all of this just makes me ask the question," What in the heck is coming in 2009??!" The beautiful part is , however, the mystery and hope that rests in the NOT knowing... January 1st marks a peaceful place of inspiration and renewal that is somewhat child-like. The innocent way in which we embrace and open the door of a new year, despite anything that has occured in the last 365 days, is an inspiring moment of faith.
My prayer for this new year is one filled with grace, mercy and that child-like faith that does not walk in the shadows of the past or in fear of the future. Rather, that we are able to be the "church" to one another, and that we offer the fruits of the spirit with unconditional love and faith-filled expectancy.
MUCH LOVE AND MANY BLESSINGS IN THE NEW YEAR...
"When we see eachother or are apart, there is expectancy of being together, of laughing and talking. That expectancy has no concrete definition; it is alive and dynamic and everything that emerges from our being together is a unique gift shared by no one else. " - The ShackBy: William P. Young
