After this last year I don't think there is much that could surprise me. I say that, but I also know life is full of surprises, new experiences ... and is always fluid... changing.... But my thought is that what I've experienced and lived has already hurt my soul and yet strengthened it in ways that have given me a courage... an acceptance and peace. I've seen the best in human nature... and sadly some of the worst. I will still continue to do my best with each decision in front of me. No matter what.
I've been to sacred places that have changed me. I want to embrace it all and glean from it all the life lessons that God intends me to have. I desire nothing to be wasted.... nothing to be lived and experienced in vain.
Often time has the power to bring about needed perspective or insight to people who need it. It's worked that way for me. Sometimes the passing of time and life experiences give people compassion, humility and a needed gentleness of spirit. God knows this is my fervent prayer.
But....
You never know. Sometimes time... and pride just makes people more bitter and set in their ways.
So I move along. Expectant. I think 2013 is going to hold some interesting things. It has the potential to bring about some miracles. I've asked God for them. We'll see....
Here's to a great new year, and new experiences. It will be as interesting as you make it. I'm sure God has some special times in store for you -you are His daughter and He loves you dearly.
