Happy New Year

The new year feels like a time for a deeply insightful blog post. This past year has been a time when God has been teaching me to follow him step by step: to not know all the details, to not know how things will work out, but to continue to follow him exactly where he leads. That's what I want for next year.  Looking back at last year sort of astounds me: I had some health issues (and am still dealing with some of the ramifications), I left a job (and kids) I love, and moved to a new state to start seminary (not knowing what I would study).
So here I am at the beginning of the new year having no idea what the new year will hold, but knowing God will lead, guide and hold me each step of the way. Knowing that following him is an adventure, one in which he will continue to amaze, astound and grow me. I know God will complete what he has begun in me (Phil. 1:6) and that he can and will do amazing abundantly more then all I could ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20).
Happy of happiest new year to you all - may God continue to work in your hearts and life in amazing and astounding ways.
