// It’s a New Day

I’m in an interesting new phase of life. I’ve been moving around this here Earth for two months shy of 25 years, and in all the days I can remember, I can’t recall another time where my breath seemed so sweet.

My life has taken a turn into the broad unknown and my heart, in feeling it, is filled with wonder, even joy. My thoughts, my dreams, my passions, my goals, my friends, my life; everything is seasoned with something new, something yet untasted.

In the past month, as I have pressed through the daily grind of what you might call a relatively average American life (incredible blessing in and of itself), I have had the feeling of a new light of hope just over the next hill. A green pasture that I won’t want to leave, a lofty field of dreams, if you can find it in yourself to endure the phrase.

Vague though it may be, this is an image of my heart, and the only one I think I can paint right now.

I have a new sense of direction, and new motivations to drive me.

I don’t really have much more to say, other than to share my excitement of this nameless joy that has come into my life, and strong though these words may be, I feel confident in their digital declaration, and more if you’re around me in the coming days.

I am continually amazed that at the end of pain, or challenge, life more sweet can be seen to grow. I love learning from my mistakes, and though I surely wish I had never made many of them, I would not trade the knowledge that comes with them for a lifetime of peace.

I’ll try to keep the updates frequent as the new sights come into view.

“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”
Romans 11:36
