New Beginnings



Well, the last few days have been a whirlwind of emotions.

Where do I begin.

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you feel that it is not goodbye. When you know in your heart that God has so much more......

so where do I begin.

Looking back at how God has blessed me with such awesome friends. The relationships that were even more strengthened in just these past few days....

so where do I begin.

Feelings of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. Feeling secure and afraid, hoping and doubtful .....

so where do I begin.

Today.

I begin today.

It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 (Amplified Bible)

I begin today.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB)

I begin today.

I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. Philippians 3:15-15 (The Message)


Thank you Lord!

Perfect! When the McD's left I could only think about how far away it would be before we'd be together again. Looking at it day by day is quite a bit easier! Thanks for the beautiful insight!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
