Renewal: Facing Forward

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
shall ye not know it?
-Isaiah 43:19

New house on top of a hill. New room with large south facing windows. New coat of vintage grey paint with glossy white trim. New earrings. New haircut. New year. New opportunities. New plans. New me.

A new start.

Words that have sown meaning in my life lately....

A grateful heart will give you a touch of refinement that can come in no other way.

and it fell not:
