The Wonders of a New Year

{Meant to be posted yesterday, sorry!!!}

Day one of a brand new year,

as I sip on my morning coffee,

 remembering the night before, 

filled with celebration and cheer.

I wonder what 2015 will hold,

I wonder what I will learn,

I wonder if I will be bold,

I wonder if I will stop every once in a while,

to smell a flower, and say hello to my King who does not walk this earth,

but rules it from above, for HE IS my one and only TRUE LOVE!

Will I stand tall and be the one God created me to be?

Or will I fall under the pressures that this world has dropped into my hands.

The calluses and bruises from the past year are almost healed, 

but the smallest pebble would cause them to bleed.

So I come to you, Lord, humbly I kneel.

Please take the shame, guilt, and pain. 

Lord save me from myself and 

Empty me of anything offensive.

For when I am emptied of myself and filled with your peace,

Nothing Will Shake Me!

For you are with me, and I am not alone.

ON the contrary, you have welcomed me into your home.

You prepare me a room in the Kingdom of God,

so here, this year, I will shine your love.

I will be a glimpse of your grace and joy.

I will forgive,

because you forgave me when I was unforgivable.

I will love,

because you loved me when I was unlovable.

I will serve,

because you served me when I was in need of help.

I will shine like the morning sun.

I will sparkle like the evening star.

I will proclaim your name saying that you are the one,

The one who came down from above.

To break our chains, and set us free.

You came down because you loved me.

2015 will be one heck of a year.

Your plans surpass mine, so what better way to start, 

than by leaving the empty pages

to be filled by the one who not only holds the pen

but who will forever hold my heart!
