Old and New

New directions

New joys

New committments

New home

New changes

New, opposite of old

Because the old just can't grow from staying the same.  It will die with no appreciation for what could have been right around the corner. 


Let me clarify, I'm not a big fan of change.  I struggle with accepting "different".  I love things to stay the same.  I shed tears thinking about stepping outside my box.  It's safe, and I like safe. 


But this year has definitely taken me outside the constraints of what I consider to be comfortable for me.  And guess what?  Although I fight it, I am slowing beginning to realize that it is actually a good thing.  The Lord knows whats best for me, even when I fail to see where my next steps my lead, He sees my all paths and directs my all ways.  I love knowing this, because when I feel that it is all up to me, I begin to see that it has nothing to do with me at all.

Tonight, I am excited about the new.........and I'm excited to see where He leads my paths.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, 
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11
