There is something so gracious about the start of a new year. It always feels like a clear slate. An opportunity for new beginnings. Sometimes it's the chance to start all over again, or maybe it is the moment of finally choosing to leave the past in the past and walking into the blessings of what 'now' entails. While it is a letting go, it is also an embracing of the beauty that awaits. For me, this year, it's the treasure of knowing that there is purpose and destiny of incredible adventures and memories to be explored in the days ahead. This is my little "Happy New Year" to you as you enter 2012. There is untold beauty to discover in Him this year as you do what you were made to do ... to walk with the One who has destiny written over each of our days. I am walking into this year with heart peace and beautiful expectancy, because I walk into this year with my King. I walk into this year with a deep sense of thanksgiving for the family that He has entrusted to me and also with a far greater appreciation for the opportunity to love deeply each day.
All my love and prayers for blessing to you in your journeys of "love in action" this year. There are beautiful stories in the making for each of us.
All my Love

I came upon your blog via another girl I follow (Daisygirl). I have to thank you ever so much for this post. I have always been bitter about "new years", because I find people too often make resolutions they don't intend to keep. I've been forgetting to glorify God in the new year and to always make it about Him. God works in mysterious ways and I am so blessed to have stumbled upon your writing. It is crisp, simple, inspiring and beautiful. Thank you from one writer to another.

I came upon your blog through another girl I follow. I have to thank you for this post. It has inspired me and reminded me of where I need to look this year. I am an avid follower of Christ, but have always struggled with "new years". I don't like the way people make resolutions they don't intend to keep and how the world seems to fall farther away from God each year. God works in mysterious ways, though and I am ever so blessed to have fallen upon your writing. It is crisp, brilliant, beautiful and inspired me to continue looking heavenward. Thank you from one writer to another.
