something new.

"for I am about to do a brand new thing. see, I have already begun! do you not see it? i will make a pathway through the wilderness for you to come home. I will create rivers for you in the desert!"

i am being provided a new path, a new way to walk in. basically, i feel like i'm being rescued- scooped up from the flower pot i'm in, to be transplanted to a different garden. at first the soil was moist in my little pot, but it's become dried out and parched. i feel like i'm going to be replanted in a bed of balanced soil, where my roots can stretch out a little bit and be revived.

i've been offered a new job, in a new place. the mister and i are looking for places to rent in the city. we are full blown seattle-bound, and along with that, bound for a more peaceful state of mind.

i feel surrounded by entangling weeds, yet i know i just have to make it through another week in my current pot. the new flower bed is being prepared!

"The LORD who made you and helps you says, "my servant, do not be afraid. My chosen one, do not fear. for I will give you abundant water to quench your thirst and to moisten your parched fields." "

What a beautiful word picture you just drew. You are such an amazing person. I am so thankful that we got to share the same flowerpot for a time. My joy is overflowing for you! You will do great and I pray that you will be blessed in this new position, beyond what you can hope or imagine!!!!
