I normally write on my journal the very first day of the new year. It usually feels so quiet, fresh and new. This year was the first time that it didn't feel like that for me. I still don't know exactly why that is but I know it's unusual. I can feel It in the air usually (the newness) but this year did not feel that way.
It feels new in other ways though. It feels new in the way that I am searching for more of God in my life. It feels new in the way that I am drawing closer to my husband and working on our relationship becoming stronger and better. It feels new that I am making progress with my relationship with my mom. It feels new in the sense that I have so much more knowledge in how I should be raising my kids. (I thank Jesus for that).
There are memories to be made, songs to be sung and places to be seen. I look forward to this year because I know that God is moving in my life. Perhaps that's why I did not sense the change of that first day. Perhaps it's because the change has slowly already been happening in my life for quite some time.
All I know is that I am thankful, with open arms ready to receive and hear what God may have for me.
In the quiet of his presence in the newness of his word and in the freshness of his Holy Spirit I look forward, I anticipate and I embrace this new year.
