On New Year's Day, 2013, I was praying for a fresh start. I wanted to wake up and find life to be bright and full of hope. For things to be easier. I quickly realized (see this post) that the difficult things in life aren't simply removed by a new date on the calendar. In fact, sometimes when you think you're at the end of your rope you don't realize how long you'll actually be stuck there clinging.
Yet in this first month of 2014, I feel like I have turned a corner. The darkness has been overcome. 2013 - my personal year of sitting on the couch has come to a close. It is time to get up and start living again.
Ahhhh...hear me taking deep, joyful breaths.
