Happy New Year!

This year started off the way the past 3 have for me - a bit gloomy. For some reason New Year's is just a rough time but there is one difference this time around. The best difference one could have. I feel like I have literally mounted upon wings and there is a higher power carrying me. A higher power, what IS that, what do people mean when they say that? Okay so God seems to have sent one of His strongest most dedicated angels my way to get me doing all those things I've spent previous years "resolving" on January 1.

Not this year, no sir, I've gotten into a groove that keeps me baffled in that "God, You really are Awesome!" kind of way. God's doing a new thing in His vessel and I just keep praying I won't mess 'it' up. When I'm led to move, I move. When His spirit leads me to write, I write. "Check out Hebrews" is what I hear, and so I read. When I need to just be still, I'm still. I just want this constant interaction between me and God to continue, I had this before and know what it does for a girl and I wanted it back. Maybe I wasn't as far gone as I thought...maybe God does what God wants to do and pulled me from the back of the crowd closer to the fire: Him.

This year will surely hold its own ups and downs, isn't that what life is all about? But I have a different perspective that can only be from God. I may not know why I'm reading what I'm led to read, or why I'm writing what I'm led to write, but I do it anyway because it's so heavy in my spirit that I can't do anything else until I quiet my spirit. If I didn't know it in 2008, I know it now: God isn't through with me yet and this vessel is praying she'll be filled with an overflow of God's love, His peace, and His spirit this year. With Him carrying me there is nothing I can't do or go through.

Happy New Year!
