Changes

Wow.  I just realized that it has been over a year since I posted on this blog.  It has been a busy year full of changes.  I have moved across the country.  I have acquired a second family.  This came about by reconnecting with an old friend, and this time around it seems there is a bit more than friendship between us.  I wonder now why I did not say "yes" to this man 15 years ago.  He once asked me, a lifetime ago if he could kiss me.  My reply, "No.  If you do, you might fall in love with me, and that cannot happen."  I remember feeling unworthy of this dear saint of a man.  I also remember feeling that possibly I was not enough, not strong enough, not flexible enough, just somehow less.  I know that I was deceived by the enemy of my soul. Now, I know that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.  I have lived a lifetime between then and now.  I have grown.  I have discovered a bit more of who I am in Christ.  And yet, I have not arrived.  I do not know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds me. 

Hold on to your faith.  Hold on to those you love.  Feel the breeze in your hair.  Breathe deep of life.  And if you need a hand to hold, then grasp tightly to love. 

I will try to write a bit more in the future.
