We’ve closed the book on 2014 and we’re opening a new one titled 2015. I can’t help but wonder what secrets 2015 holds. What surprises are in store for the coming year. I’ve spent several weeks contemplating what I hope to achieve in the new year. Making plans. Setting goals. Seeking a word from God that will permeate the days and weeks of 2015. The word he gave me is GRACE. And, oh how I need it!
Already 2015 promises to be a year of change. I’ve committed to cutting back on some of my responsibilities with Inspire Christian Writers. I’ll be homeschooling one of my darlings and refocusing on my personal writing. Those are a few of the knowns. The unknowns will have to unfold as the year progresses.
As part of my re-focus on my personal writing, I’m launching this blog. I have big plans for it and will be tweaking it quite a bit in the coming weeks, but I wanted to launch it today–New Year’s Day 2015.
So, Happy New Year!
I hope your year, and my year, will be filled with grace.
What are the knowns for you in 2015? What are you hoping the year will bring? Do you have a “word of the year”?
Hi Beth! I was just thinking about you, Googled you to see if you had put anything new up online, and I found this blog! How fun! =) I was really blessed by your post. I think GRACE is something God wants me to ponder in the coming year as well – grace for myself, grace for Phil, grace for the kids. I think God wants me to more fully embrace His grace, and I can then extend more grace to my family.
Hello Katie, I hope we both experience God’s grace anew this year! My soul is thirsty for it. And like you, I need to pour more grace into the lives of those I love most. We can encourage each other in this journey!
I’m thrilled to see your new blog, Beth! Will try to stop by from time to time. I am praying that God blesses you and others through this ministry!
On days when you wonder if anyone reads this blog or cares what you’re writing about, stay encouraged. They are reading. We do care. Enjoy the journey.
Thanks for your encouragement Carol! I’ve been neglecting my personal writing a bit as I help others with theirs. I’ve missed blogging and am glad to be back at it!
