The dull, dreary, wet weather today in no way dampened the joy quietly bubbling to the surface of my soul. Oh, it tried to invade, even going so far as to try to shroud my eyes in midday slumber... no, more accurately, the feeling was more like that thing trying to actually wrap my head, like a mummy entombed... but I arose and drove that familiar thing OUT! The physical act of starting a fire in the fireplace was my personal prophetic act of forcing the dankness out of my spirit and emotions. The fact that it took such a long time to get it to actually take hold was a huge clue that I was onto something...
I carried on with the normalities of the day... I fed the animals,
did some laundry and dishes, picked up the trash the goats had strewn across the yard in their midnight raid, and made breakfast, but I also broke up the
monotony by baking some of my world famous chocolate chip cookies,
deconstructing the Christmas tree, coloring my daughter's hair, and
sitting down for a while to start a blog. This blog. It's close to midnight now, on the first day of this new year, and I'm only now beginning the part of my blog that will be for normal human consumption. The previous several hours were spent transcribing the powerful prophetic word I received last night at church. That is just for me to digest and redigest, study and restudy, pick apart and put back together... I am greatly encouraged, to say the least, and I KNOW this year will be different for me and, consequently, for my family.
I am new to the blogosphere, but I am no stranger to writing. I only hope that what touches me will, in some way, touch you. By the end of this year, I will not recognize me. That's a good thing. I hope you will join me, even if only on occasion, on this journey of renewal and discovery.
There's something simmering, and eventually it's gonna have to boil over!!!
I'm welcoming 2014 with a shake of my mane and a roar of awakening!
