Begin
Go
“See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:19
This is my verse to live by for the year… I’ve looked for the “new thing” all year. On some days it’s been far away off in the distance…my hand has reached for it but somehow it’s been beyond the tips of my fingers.
But now…now I touch it ever so slightly with the tips of my fingers. God is whispering, “Now it’s time to begin. Don’t be afraid of the questions that swirl in my head. Welcome them, embrace them, run with them.”
So I, ever so hesitantly at first, work through the questions and take a small step forward. I begin with one step trusting God to show me the next step and the next.
He tells me in His Word that when I acknowledge Him & trust Him that He will direct my path.
So with a humble servant heart I begin down the new journey He has placed before me.

I so love your words and your heart and this beautiful place you have online. You are right, when we trust, He directs. I’m right beside you journeying into a new place with Him…scared and brave. Blessings to you today!
Meredith ~ Thanks so much. Praying for you as you journey into a new place with Him as well.
Mary – love the Allume pics! Are you going this year?! I can’t believe it is less than 3 months away. I too am working through some things on this journey with God – but seriously so very grateful to have such a wonderful tribe of Godly women around me as I do!
Kristin~ Yes I’m going again this year & can’t wait to see how God is going to move! Last year He met me personally where I was hurting. I know He is going to use that pain & growth to minister to other women. Hope to have a chance to meet you at Allume this year!
