Happy New Year!

 

Happy New Year.  Another year has begun.  With our company gone and Sarah visiting family in Cali, the house is quieter than normal.  The holidays have passed but I don't want the excitement of Christmas to end for another year.  There is so much to be thankful for and I want to take the joy of Christmas into the new year.  Josh and I are grateful for family, new friends we have made in 2012, looking forward to a niece or nephew to be born in 2013, a place we call home...most of all I am thankful for my Lord who with every turn I make I am reminded of his creativity and love for us.   

 

The first day of 2013 started with the sun shining bright which was the reminder I needed that God is still near even in the dark and gloomy.  His light shines.  Josh took me out to play with my camera to a local park which has a few trails in hope to see some wildlife even on a cold winter's day.

 

With the sun out, little birds were on the hunt for dinner before the sun set.  Frost still settled on the leaves.  Disc golfers were out enjoying a cold game bundled up in their winter coats and scarfs.

 

I have started the book Wonderstruck by Margaret Feinberg and I want to have a new appreciation and wonderment of God and his miraculous power in 2013. 

 

A child-like faith can move mountains. Everywhere I look I see His beauty.  Today I reflect on all He has done in our lives in 2012...He has provided and He never fails. 

 

 Happy New Year everyone!
