Every year the same thing happens: the number of the previous year that was so new and mysterious, wraps up and ends being fully experienced and NOT as daunting as I had imagined. Yet I see the number of the Year ahead and I’m hit with that same exciting and scary unknown feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excited<\/strong> because anything can happen and a little scared<\/strong> because ANYTHING can happen. For instance- my hope is that something new and good will come about with the hearts of our family, to love and serve God fully. My fear comes with what<\/em> will God need to do to bring us to that completeness and maturity in Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want it all! And<\/em> I want Him to protect my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a merciful Father He has been, always gently preparing me and patiently leading me through so many rough seasons. He promised to be there and smooth the path, and He has<\/em>. He has never left me to sort it out alone. He has never failed to bring good from any horrific situation (if I only waited to see). He’s shown me more of His Glory, year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom should I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom should I dread?… If an army encamps against me, My heart will not fear; If war arises against me, In spite of this I am confident.<\/em><\/strong>Psalm 27:1,3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If God is for (me), who can be against (me)?”<\/em><\/strong> Romans 8:31<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is for me. He is with me. Because of what Jesus did on the cross: I was determined before<\/strong><\/em> and called; <\/strong><\/em>and made righteous;<\/strong><\/em> and also glorified<\/strong> (see Bible Hub “interlinear” Romans 8:30).<\/em> I am His and He is mine. Head to toe, inside and out. There is nothing to fear and everything to Hope! Happy 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
