My favorite time of the year has arrived. The clean crisp morning air while sipping coffee curled up to a good book is more like more spring to some, while the renewed energy is similar to a New Year’s resolution to others.

I have been on an unintended break from life. The life of dreams, fun, goals, and the thrill of waking up to meet the Lord had almost disappeared. I know His mercies are new every morning, but I have dreadful long season of difficulties. “It” had begun to ensnare me. How did this happen? Thankfully, through all of our issues of grief and despair I know the Lord was right with me.

It is time to “be” what God has intended for me and it is not to wallow in muck and mire. So easy to say, but it will take an extra dose, that concerted effort to bring this to fruition. “Fall Back” umm..No! Fall on me knees is more like it.  

It is now time to dream of sewing projects for Christmas. Canning, though this year it will only be fruit is a delight I am looking forward to do. It is cool enough to bake bread again, fill the freezer with meals, and stock the pantry with case lot and grain sales. We have started school after a short break. I will plant some winter type greens, carrots and peas.  

My doctor reminded me to start “deliberate” exercise…so walking will begin. He also said put on more weight; a good diet is back on the menu. A few other projects to be dusted off too. Without a vision the people perish…indeed this is true. 

I will continue my journey, watching for my rocks in my path, staying on the trail the Lord has set for me. We have not made it to our farm, but I am beginning to see this as “not yet” and I am good with that.   

Today I will enjoy the delight of the Lord; He will take care of the rest! Have a blessed day!
