cheers!

I'm so excited for another year

when a sweet friend quoted Isaiah 30:18 in her twitter, I knew it was my verse for 2009. I knew it because I am waiting for God's next step for me- I know He's doing a good work in me, and He has plans. I know because not only am I waiting, but He is waiting- because His timing is perfect, and He knows what is best- He knows exactly what He created me for, and it's happening....

I love that the verse has the word "mercy" in it because I am doing just that- holding out for Mercy Ministries. I know when the time comes, if that is not where God has called me I will be exstatic about wherever I am... but that home is my heart cry and I believe in God's promises to give me the desires of my heart. I believe that He blesses our patience and I believe His plan for me right now is right where I'm at. . . but I don't think I'll be there for long!

I believe the Holy Spirit is going to continue to grow and move in my life in huge ways this year- I will hear His voice a little crisper- feel discernment and understanding in my heart a little more clearly. I am going to grow in God's love and understanding and wisdom. I am His child. He is my Abba.

The season I am in right now is so good. There is so much joy in my heart and Jesus by my side- not that He hasn't always been- but I'm finally aware of just how much He is apart of my life.

and it only leaves me wanting more! *Cheers* to a new year!
