New beginnings

As the year comes to a close, I can honestly say that I am glad to have this one behind me. It has almost been 3 years now since my life took an alternate route. I had intended to stay on that same route the rest of my life, but life happens, and things change. Whereas it has felt as though we have been stranded in the desert for the past few years, I can finally see some fresh, new growth. While in the desert, everything was so dead. We were parched and dying a little more each day. Over each sand dune, I would pray for a drop of water to get us through the next one. And drops there were. God was so good to supply our every need. And eventually, as we travelled on in the desert, the terrain slowly but surely started changing. Instead of drops of water, we would find a small puddle here or there. Just when we felt we could go on no longer, God would satisfy our thirst and supply us with enough to go on. Eventually, we found a pond and green grass aplenty. Now, it seems there are still areas in which the grass struggles to grow, but overall there is so much more alive than dead! I am looking forward to this new year. As we attempt to find our new normal, we are excited to see what God has in store for us! Things are constantly changing, and we face new situations each day, but our God is a good God and will never let us down! Happy New Year!!! Blessings, Carol
