Due to God's sifting and refinement in my life, I am looking at 2013 with clearer eyes & a softened and humbled heart. I am able to see that the financial and material losses I so deeply mourned were all for my good and they are in fact blessings & acknowledgements that I am His; for when I decide to walk with the Lord I must surrender myself to His will and expect a path for my life that I might never have imagined!
My hope is not to journey to my grave arriving unscathed, unwrinkled, looking as youthful as possible, with as many earthly treasures as I can accumulate...
but to slide in broadside, thoroughly used up and worn out,
a heart overflowing with the love I shared & received, proclaiming...
"Wow, what a ride!"
And hearing the words,
"Well done my good and faithful, daughter."
So buckle your seat belts, ladies....
Let's take this ride together!
