I love beginnings! A new calendar year. A new school year. A birthday declaring a new year of life. Beginnings fill me with hope and expectation. The possibilities are endless for an enthusiastic optimist such as myself.
2019 is new and different and I am excited about it! Change is on the horizon. I'm not sure what it looks like yet, but it's coming. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of change just for the sake of change. What I am looking forward to are the changes that are much needed...in me. 2019 is a year that will be lived in freedom from the fear that has held me captive for so long. My chains are gone and I am free to be the Dawn that God lovingly designed. I am free to take risks and meet the challenges of life head on. I am free to love and laugh and live the way that God planned for me from the beginning of time! I am free to be confident in who I am and whose I am!
I get to enter into my 50's this year, and I can't wait! Each new decade of life has been better than the last ones, so my 50's are gonna be amazing! I still have so much to learn, and I'll be learning until the day that I reach heaven. I've been greatly encouraged this week by Philippians 1:6...I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue to work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns! Wahoo! That is good news!
I'm not sure if I will continue to blog. The blog has been a "safe" place for me to share what God is doing in me with you. It reduces the risk of rejection, but the fear of rejection doesn't rule me anymore! (Yep, I'm having my own little celebration here!) I pray that God will give me face-to-face opportunities to share what He teaches me this year with the people around me.
2019 is definitely going to be something new, something different for me...and I pray that it will be for you too! Blessings!
