A big white square. That's what's facing me right now as I grasp for words to outline the past 12 months.
But blankness is certainly not what lies behind:
 |
| Lunch at Vast |
Among many other things...
College graduation.
Best friend's engagement.
My engagement.
Best friend's wedding.
First devotions published
My wedding.
Also throw in a honeymoon, church change, new house, and new part-time job at TriCorps.
Fullness. Newness. Growth. Dreams reaching maturity and blossoming in my hands.
Numerous words have already been spoken on each of these amazing milestones; I am only left with a humble and grateful heart.
I am married to the most incredible man (for his end of the year blog post, click here) and blessed beyond belief to be his wife. My jobs right now are awesome, fulfilling and challenging- and very different from each other!
I have a beautiful home I get to decorate and fix up with my husband.
We both have excellent families that we get to live life with. I could go on...
Tear off that calendar page
What now? What is God speaking to me to focus on for 2013?
The words that keeps resonating in my spirit are: hungry, learn, grow.
Hungry for more of God.
Thirsty to learn.
Eager to grow.
I've been filled to the brim and even overflowing this year, but in an odd way, that makes me realize I do need God more and more every day so I can constantly learn, I can constantly grow, and I constantly bless and influence those around me. That gives me an appetite for God he promises to satisfy. (Matt. 5:6)
What words are echoing in your soul as you close your eyes on 2012 and open them to 2013?
"For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things." Psalm 107:9
Happy New Year!
