Goodbye and Hello

Every year around New Year's Eve I look back on the year.  I look back on highlights, adventures, what I learned, and the list goes on. I think reflecting is good and healthy.  To see where we have come from and to re-live the journey along the way.  But this year I feel like I just need to let 2012 go.  I let circumstances rob my joy this year. I let anxiety grip my heart much of the time. I let the fear of turning 30 rule in my heart in a greater way than it really should have.  I carried around dissapointments of what I thought should have been different and missed out on many of the blessings that were around me. 

2012 is a year I'm ready to release, to move on, and to be thankful that the Lord's mercy is new every morning.  That His love comes to no end and that grace is so much greater than any of my sin. That He will never leave me or forsake me. That he does not grow weary of me and He will never give up on me.  

I'm ready for 2013. I'm ready for what the Lord has in store.  I'm ready to walk with God and simply be in his presence.  To live the life He calls me to each day and to enjoy the blessing of himself that He so freely gives me each moment.
