Just wanted to write a quick hello and wish you a Happy New Year!
New beginnings are great, aren’t they? To look forward, to let go and hope for better than the last.
What are you hoping for in 2016? Do you sense God pulling you in a new direction or perhaps in the same direction with a new emphasis?
Do you sense the Lord bringing a dream, vision, or plan to you for this year? How exciting all the possibilities!
I love taking time to ponder these questions…to sit quietly with Jesus and to listen as He speaks over me. His quiet whisper is like a love song to my soul. He is so faithful to give wisdom and answers when we earnestly seek Him and expect Him to respond.
My word for 2016 is Fear: fear God not man. Over and over, Jesus affirmed this theme. Certainly not a fun word, but this is what He has for me and I will trust Him with it.
I would love to know what God is speaking to you for this year. I would be so honored to pray for you as you search and pray.
Much love and in hopeful expectation of good things,
Melissa
