Many times when I sit down to write I have no idea what to say. I find myself mulling over topics, stories, lessons learned, and as I sift through the multitude of ideas I pray. I pray that God will bring forward what He wants to say. That whatever post is published is not only well written but more importantly God inspired. Without His hand in all that I do nothing that I do will come even close to its full potential. My best attempts fall so far short of his ability and often times leave me feeling exhausted, depleted, and even mildly depressed at times.

I’m feeling very sentimental lately. The new year and fresh canvas ahead are causing my heart to pause and reflect on the last decade of life. So much has transpired and I know without a doubt the Lord was there through it all. Not a moment passed where He was not present; and in that I take great comfort.

My goal this next year is to spend more time being still with God. Not necessarily physically still, but still in mind and spirit. I want to allow Him the room in my life that He deserves and be more aware of His presence rather than relying on my own understanding.

God really has done a mighty work in my life and although He has made absolutely miraculous strides, I know there is still much growth to be had. Wounds to be healed. Rough edges to be refined. Bring it on Lord – I’m all yours.
