The Fog is Lifting


I will never forget being in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. To this day, it is one of the most beautiful places I've seen with my own eyes. You wake up in the morning to fog and clouds surrounding you, but then the sun rises and the fog clears and you end up with a gorgeous view. 

This seems like the perfect picture of the last couple of years for me. If life is like a mountain, as I climb I reach areas that are covered in fog and clouds. I know that I am still climbing, but the climb seems to slow down and it becomes less clear. 

It's with much anticipation that I have welcomed 2015. Even though every day can be a new beginning, there is something significant about the start of a new year. And I am determined that this year is one that the sun rises and the fog clears. Already I can tell a difference. The fog is lifting. I catch glimpses of blue skies. My hope is increasing.

"You make me feel. You make me feel. You make me feel like a natural woman." "Should be fun on a bun!" "And stay off the circle line. It is an instrument of the devil." "I'd love a bottle of fruit loops right about now." "I've never seen a movie that...

Expectancy

We have the following Bible verses written on a chalkboard above our kitchen sink: Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness & in the shadow of death, & to guide us to the path of peace. Luke 1:78-78 NLT I chose to write out these verses for a few reasons. First of all, I like the picture it illustrates of God's mercy & how ultimately his mercy & light lead us to peace. Second, these verses speak of hope to me. They say that even in darkness & death there is hope! And last, it reminds me to live every day with expectancy. It says that heaven "is about" to break upon us; it's almost foreshadowing God's faithfulness. I've been thinking about this third point a lot lately. Expectancy. What does it mean? What does it look like? I think I've referenced it before, but I'm reading a book that's written specifically for people in a time of ...
