Year End

Wow, I apologize for my silence, folks. Though somehow I don't really think I was missed. :) A month and a half of peace and quiet. ;) Ah well. I hope everyone has been busy getting ready for the holidays and loving the last moments of the year twenty-ten.

This year has been an amazing year, filled with blessings and challenges, but these challenges I've faced have made me stronger. Have touched me deeper with God's grace and the knowledge of His promise to me that I will not be ashamed of my hope.

Sometimes I've felt like I'm in a maze and every route I take is a dead end road. I've wondered, asked, and cried as to the right path to take. I still don't know. Still don't have the answer, but I know that my Redeemer lives and that He waits in love to make known the way, that the day will come when I will hear the voice behind me saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it." (Is. 30:21) But in the meantime, He's promised His loving presence to uphold me and that in quietness and confidence will be my strength. (Is. 30:15)

In the meantime I've had the special blessing of being able to travel with my brother and sister-in-law and niece. That adorable baby that melts my heart and holds such a special place. Been able to spend time with amazing friends, rejoice in the love uniting two lives as one, and run in the icy Pacific waters.

I'm embarking on a new year. An unknown year. This past year sure held some surprises I never imagined, but that God in His wisdom blessed me with, and I'm thankful for. And knowing the love of my Father I rest in His tender care as I enter the new year.

All my love and best wishes,
to you my dear readers...

Merry Christmas
&
A Happy New Year!

Unto Us a Child is Born

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
