Breathe and Begin Again

When you need a fresh start

Beginning, Faith

Sometimes starting something new is the hardest thing to do. This is true about life, and certainly true about writing. You can start a blog, create a pretty template, and do everything to set it up, but then you need words.  And in the search for words you come face to face with the entirety of the dream. You feel like you have to clarify it in your mind, be really clear, and possibly even have an entire road map planned out as to where this all should go. Here Lord, this is my big plan, if could just bless this whole big thing, I’ll get right on my way to making it happen?

All of that planning  is enough to stop me in my tracks and end up doing nothing.

So, here we are, on the brink of something new and the Lord is calling me to faith. I do not know the whole picture, and nor do I feel fully prepared, and my dream road map is a crumpled ball on the floor.

But this one thing I know deep in my heart, above all things, and it is this:

God is good. Always.

Every day is we have the chance to begin again. I don’t have a road map, or a guarantee, but I have faith and I can choose to do the next right thing that I know to do. In this case it is publishing this new blog that I have been working hard on behind the scenes. It’s in trusting that God will lead me to my next steps and that my part is to be faithful in the work He has given me to do.

Fresh starts come in quietly starting the work.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in you I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words. My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise. Psalm 119:147-148

Christmas cards have fallen away for a long time a Christmas cards have fallen away for a long time and I’ve hung on to the tradition. Maybe this year it should be revived? Maybe a thoughtful letter enclosed in a card that brings words of hope is just the thing. Maybe we could even expand out of our usual lists and look for those in our church or community that could use the extra love ❤️ #breatheandbeginagain #athrillofhope #hopewriters
