Newness

I love newness, starting a fresh new year has such a sweet feeling of something new.  And new it is!  2012 is barely two days old.  I am so excited to see ALL the beautiful things that Twenty Twelve will bring... 

This morning I read from A Heart Exposed by Steven James and was blessed to start the year with such amazing prayer...

To the only one who sees the world as it is.

I ask for clarity;

and if not clarity, purity,

and if not purity, forgiveness-

not because I am so blind,

but because I'm so unwilling to open my eyes.

Where I've strayed, draw me in,

where I've stumbled, lift me up,

and where I've lifted myself,

knock me down

until I see your world

and your love

with clear, unclouded eyes.

With this prayer answered, 2012 will ROCK! :)
