Oh the Places You'll Go

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!


The date tonight is officially December 25, 2011, Christmas Day.....well, it's still night time here in B.C. that's why I'm still up.

Something has happened to me some where along this day...this morning when in the shower I was thinking along the lines of an earthquake...don't know why at all. I usually think of these thoughts that pop into my head in a spiritual sense...so no big worries there.

Since I haven't blogged in a very long time, this may be a little 'out there'.

Anyway, it's Christmas time...but I have lost Christmas. Not the Reason, not the beauty of the Word becoming Flesh...just all the rest. My family is scattered all across Canada. I am here in a small town in the lower mainland of B.C.

I settled here last November after getting married....that's story has already been told. There is lots more to share on that year, but another post another day.

For tonight all I need to say is that there has been a change, a shift, whatever one wants to call it...an awakening...a change of direction.

Leaving Christmas behind, with all the wonderful fond family memories, has been very challenging over the past ten or so years. When I was a child it was my favorite time of year...peace reigned in an otherwise often 'war zone' between my parents.

With my own children I tried very hard to always make everything lovely, with the true meaning of Jesus coming weaved into the season.

But I digress....all that to say, sometimes, it's just time to take the 'other path', listen to the invitation of 'The Voice' and say yes, I will go and do whatever you have in your plan for us.

So...for tonight ....my response as the result of pressing my ear to the floor of heaven...hearing His heartbeat...is yes...absolutely yes...with all the grace and mercy needed to make this new transition and wherever that leads me.

Just don't want to miss the next chapter...so Jesus...lead on , and if sometimes you have to come back and find me where I may have stumbled I really like that you don't mind at all. You just keep smiling encouragement when you look in my face. Thanks for that Lord I just love your grin.

And so it begins.......
