A New Perspective

Isaiah 40:31 "Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles."Just like the beauty seen on the soaring wings of eagles, there is a priceless display of beauty in each day of my life. Whether it shows itself in the blessed miracle of welcoming a new child into this world or in the simple beauty found in my every day routines, I want these treasures to daily renew my hope in the Lord. As I begin this blog, I think of the few treasured years that I have had as a wife and mother. It is so often my tendency to rush ahead to whatever comes next and forgot to treasure the moments of daily life as God reveals himself to me in unique ways each day. As I look back at the years passed by, I often feel regret that I missed so much but never being satisfied with where I was at. But when expressing these things to my husband, he reminded me not to idolize the past or live in regret. Rather, I am to focus on Christ and how he is continuing to work on me now, rejoicing in the fact that he has revealed these truths to me. I cannot go back to what was, but I can be grateful for the truths that God taught me during my growing up years and my time as a college student. I can rejoice in knowing that God has a perfect plan for my life and that he will continue to reveal it to me in his time. And as I look ahead, I can focus my thoughts on a new perspective devoted to all that God has for me in the treasured moments of each new day.
