Happy New Year!

the journey ...

As this year comes to a close

I find myself reflecting

Quite a bit ...

On everything that has transpired this year

On everything that awaits me next year

Many are finished with Christmas

But it stays with me throughout the year

I identify with Mary

Pregnant with a promise from God

Promises to be truthful

Unable to fully explain what I feel to anyone

Wondering what 'that day' will look like

when it all comes to fruition

Questioning whether I will have become -

all that I need to become

In order to properly nurture and care for God’s gift.

Mine is not an actual baby

But it could not be more precious,

for I know God planted it there

So today,

I make a special request

as I listen to this song,

most accurately capturing my feelings today.

I ask that you listen with me,

And pray for me –

Even as I pray for you

I pray that each one of us will give birth

to what God has planted inside of us,

Taking comfort in His Word of Promise,

I have directed you in the way of wisdom;

I have led you in upright paths.

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded,

And if you run, you will not stumble.

Proverbs 4:11-12 NASB

The New Living Translation States

I will teach you wisdom's ways

and lead you in straight paths.

When you walk, you won't be held back;

when you run, you won't stumble.

We have a confirmation of what He has done,

We have a confidence in what He is doing,

We have an assurance of what He will do.

Through many twists and turns through this wilderness

After countless ‘circles' around the mountain

The true journey begins -

The road of destiny

Taking possession and occupying

Every promise God has made

Let the journey begin …

Happy & Blessed New Year’s Greetings to All!
