Reflection. My time to ponder deep thoughts. The moment spent with a relaxing exhale of the past and deep inhale for the future.
INHALE
the future
EXHALE
the past
The realization that you've survived the hard past and are stronger than you thought you could be. The kind of moments where you sometimes go through the motions and not so much the emotions. ...and only because you stood firm in faith on weak and shaky legs and trusted in His unfolding plan - the Father's strength, not mine.
The new year is really just a page turning on the calendar, but it offers a fresh outlook of new beginnings. A new set of months. Another four seasons. 52 more weeks with 7 days each. The hours will tick on the clock. The sun will rise each morning and set each evening. It carries hope for the future. A time to dream.
