Yesterday was my first day off where I just shut in and said no to everything. That is, until I got called in to work to help with packaging. I was happy to do it, and ended up sleeping here (still at work, witting my quick blog while I ease my mind) and its been surreal.
Same clothes, no shower, uncomfortable sleep for 4 hours...but I'm still plugging away; hopped up on coffee, trying to finish these videos. And I think about my life. I think about what this year had. I think that I share a lot of the same sentiment that Tadd has talked about in his blog and in person - 2012 sucked a lot. But it was also joyous and had many surprises.
I think about where God has graciously brought me. He has given me so much favor in so many ways, and in so many eyes. And I think about where he will take me.
For once in my "adult" life, I will not be touting Death Cab by singing, "So this is the New Year, and I don't feel any different." Because the truth is, I feel completely different.
My heart has changed, my eyes are focused (but I need a stronger prescription I suspect), I am going to buy a house, I am not saying resolutions, I'll just do them, and I feel lighter - not that things aren't hard, but God's grace has shown in the clearing, and a fog has lifted.
So, my course is set for this present hour, and I'll turn my eyes upon Jesus, as the things of this world have grown strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.
Here's to 2013: Soli Deo Gloria
