The year is 2015, but you already know this.
It is another beginning to another year. A year packed full of hopes and dreams; expectations and some fears and borrowed sadness's from time gone by.
It is another year for being a mom to the 4 most awesome sons God has given us to parent. It is another year packed full of good things. Gods plans are set out, and are to be perfected by him in the days that lie ahead and carefully planned for us all and for each of us. And so, why does the beginning of this year overwhelm me? Why is it so darn difficult. I guess the reality is we do have 4 sons and each of them have busy lives and I have a busy, full life too. New teachers, new scheduels, new work, new friends, new challenges.
Our youngest ADHD son really does not transition well. In some ways I feel his pain. The change from the wonderful relaxing holiday time over the summer break into the busy, sensory overloaded life of school , work and play; is difficult for me too.:)
Each new year holds within it the what ifs.....
It holds with in it hope of change ; of more of somethings and less of others. The hope and hint of new while drawing the old and familiar into the new year with it. 2014 is indeed hot on the heals of the new , crisp 2015.
And so I lay my hopes and expectations; my dreams and fears; my longings and sadness down at the cross. Praying Phil 4.
Lord please give me your peace.
Lord please strengthen me for the road that lies ahead. The tasks are many and I need your help.
Father thank you for this new year. Help me to trust you deeply, whole hearted, with longing and expectation of what you are going to do in and through us; in and through the mundane and the extraordinary.
Bless this family I pray Lord Jesus!!!
