A New Year

This year is bringing many changes into our lives as we prepare to move to Pan de Vida Orphanage this summer.  A dear friend of mine from the mission field, sent me this poem that sums up my perspective. I am so Thankful that God has put brothers and sisters in my life to encourage me on this journey.  It can be very overwhelming at times.  Thank you all!

A New Year With The Lord

A new year is about to unfold
With new opportunities to explore
Doors will open for new experiences
New adventures with the Lord


Remember not the former things

The things of this past year
The Lord will do new things in us
Much more than we are aware



For He will make a way for us

As we put our trust in Him
And He will guide our every step
By His presence we have within



What God has placed within our hearts

We find we’ll be able to do
If we look for the opportunities
We’ll see the door to go through



We mustn’t let anything hold us back

But rise up and take our place
And be all that God wants us to be
With a fresh touch of His grace
