Standing grateful

I sat down tonight to write a quick “Happy New Year!” update and as I began to think about the past year, as well as the upcoming year, I was reminded of line from a Watermark song . . .

 

 

This past year has been jam-packed with battles, challenges, victories, hurts, joys, and growth.  I am truly grateful for all that has been left behind in 2008 and I am grateful for what lies ahead in 2009.  I am amazed and so thankful that the Lord has all things connected and that He is our Healer.  The song says it best (click on the title to listen) . . .  

Mended
You repair all that we have torn apart and
You unveil a new beginning in our hearts and
We stand grateful for all that has been left behind and
All that goes before us

You’ve got all things suspended
All things connected
Nothing was forgotten
‘Cause Your love is perfect
You are our Healer
And You know what’s broken
And we’re not a mystery to You

We will dance ’cause You restore the wasted years and
You will sing over all our coming fears and
We’ll stand grateful for all that has been left behind and all that goes before us

 

 

Thanks so much for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement, dear friends. 

Happy New Year!
