Happy New Year!

This is a step of courage for me, letting my simple thoughts go out into cyberspace.  Not quite sure why I am writing at all...except that I love to write. So lets see if I can write anything that is worthy of someone reading but at this point it is more for me than you.
It is the first day of the New Year and desiring it to hold something more, something extraordinary, to reach out and taste life, not just taste but to have all my senses burst forth in excited discovery that life is wonderful in every unimaginable way. (Ephesians 3:20)
And within me I feel this excitement stirring, and I fight the urge to flee in fear that I may be disappointed.  I know somewhere deep in my spirit that as I totally surrender to all my God has for me that I will not be disappointed for He has the very best for me always. (Jeremiah 29:11)
He has the very best for us...ALWAYS, though sometimes we don't see it through the fog of our past experiences. I challenge myself this year to face my fears with FAITH, to TRUST my Jesus, and to hold onto the Hope that never disappoints. (Romans 15:13)
(FYI - Scripture references are ones that popped into my head, not to give my thoughts biblical backing.)
