Brand Spankin' new :)


Today woo hoo I am grateful for a brand new year !!!!
To start off sparkling white and fresh, joy joy joy.
With each day, week, or month maybe I can add some color to my feathers, something bright something sheek, something wild !!! Or maybe I can just maintain my newness, my freshness, my awe!!!
Gratitude washes over me to imagine the wonders possible. To bow down in obediance and just watch God do His work. To find God at work and join Him, there is nothing impossible when God is at the wheel.
I'm so grateful to be able to look back and see when I finally just surrendered my stubborn "self" and He began a new work in me (or actually an old work I had been holding up). There is no way possible I could have ever brought myself to this place, this place of joy. This place of happiness, and family, this place of peace, place of love. God brought me here, God is full of grace to give me this, full of mercy to offer even more !!!
On my own my life was a mess, so much so that I ooozed hurt on others. My life was broken, my heart filled with bondage.
Today I am grateful to have a heart full of love, bursting within itself and constantly amazed at how God squeezes in even more with each new friend, new experience. God has taken a broken mess of a girl and filled me, fixed me, freed me. Oh yes Lord today I am grateful!!!!!
