Disappointment has been a cloak around here as we've been suffering through the flu for our entire Christmas break. All the merry + bright quickly became sad + miserable. Special merry making at home with the family was nixed, well-laid plans fizzled away, a year in review will not be happening, hopeful beginnings never were born. I've struggled to get back up and start again, in heart and body.
But slowly, one giving of thanks at a time, my disappointment is turning to joy. When life doesn't go as hoped, choosing to give thanks anyway opens up the door of His light into our days. As long as there's Jesus, every little thing is gonna be alright!
And so begins a new year. As I try to wipe the fog from my brain (compliments of the flu!), I'm getting excited about the work ahead. New ideas are keeping me awake at night, as are the few panic attacks. That's only when I get ahead of myself! Unless the sky begins to fall, I look forward to regular posting again beginning Monday! I do so enjoy when you show up here and we walk a speck of the road together! Thanks for that!
Enjoy your Weekending!
