Happpppy New Yearrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Alright, I get it, I'm 10 days late, but I wouldn't want you to think I didn't celebrate with you. Because here I am, thinking about YOU! Have you ever been so pregnant with expectation for a year? The next 365 and 1/4 days...just one breath at a time...living in the best, most evolved moments yet!

Whatever, the realists are all, "Get real. I've gotta deal with this, this and this...", but I'm just telling ya, it's a great day to be alive (said some country artist too). I'd like to start by telling you that I put napkins on my table instead of grabbing them out of the pantry and putting them on at each meal. THIS and this alone has made me a happier mama and has allowed me to sit at the table 89.753% longer during meals because I'm not getting up to wipe someone's snot, mouth, or other body part. Although, I wouldn't suggest using a napkin for all body parts. That could just get messy.

Aside from eating, I heard and saw something last night. It was a picture of 2 gas cans. They were full. One was a "reserve" tank, in case of emergencies. It was in the middle of worshipping at church and I heard Him say this, "Worship with your all. Nothing held back. No, not once in a while, but every time. Use both tanks, because there is NO FEAR in using it all and being left with nothing. I will always refill you. You don't have to hold back for special occasions. Or emergencies. Every time, give it your all. Give me your all."

Wow. Every time? That can seem like a lot of work. Or overly emotional...
or in love. Or relentless. Or holding nothing back because He's worthy.

Yeah, I think it's the last one.

So, I'm challenged and sitting in the wonder that I have a lover who held nothing back for me, and I get to live in fearless abandonment for Him.

Like I said, it's gonna be a shake-your-head-you-can't-even-believe-that-just-happened kind of year.

Cheers! You're awesome.
