It’s 2011- that is so strange. I feel like each new year brings new promises, a blank slate and an overwhelming since of expectancy. Unfortunately, the only real thing that comes with the new year is a change in the date. Lucky for me, I serve a God that offers so much more than the changing of 2 little numbers ever could. Isn’t it beautiful that Jesus offers us a blank slate every day. Each day is filled with the promise of everlasting love and unending grace. I stopped to think today about this since of expectancy and anticipation that is looming over my head – what exactly am I expecting to happen this year? Am I going to fall in love? Am I going to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life? Am I going to meet new people and make new friends? I can guess all day long (and believe me – sometimes I try), but ultimately I am not going to know until it happens. This is what I know for sure – I can expect God to be faithful and faithful and faithful some more. I can expect to fall deeper in love with Him. I can expect that if I try to walk in His will, he will slowly but surely show me where to put my feet. And above all, I can expect the unexpected. Isn’t that just so exciting?
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
So. Much. Love.
