A New Thing

“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”- Isaiah 43:16, 18-19

Happy New Year to you! I'm not sure what all new things 2009 will bring, but I am thankful that God does! I am so thankful that He is making a way in the deserts of my life & bringing forth streams in the wastelands...I look forward with anticipation to what new things He has for us this year. (And here I sit, right as the New Year rings in! I am hearing fireworks shooting in the neighborhood & notice that it is just now Midnight!) There is something so wonderful about new beginnings, fresh pages to be written, new ideas to be thought, new lessons to be learned...after-all who doesn't like something new! Each New Year, new day, new minute is a precious gift!

I pray that you will enjoy all of the "new" things in your life this year, trusting in Him who makes all things new!

And, not to write off the past year too quickly...I too am thankful for a wonderful 2008...here are just a few photo hilights from the last year...(in very random order!)

Note to self...or perhaps New Year's Resolution...get more photos of the kids together!
