Cheers to little {new} beginnings..
New blog. First blog.
New job. First big girl job.
New address. New to the idea of living on my own.
New grocery store to discover. {Part Walmart, part Sam's Club. Dear Lord, have mercy on my soul when I enter the doors of this double franchised beast.)
New couch. Learning to bargain for a {cheap} new couch.
New friendships to find. Old friendships to savor.
New budget to redefine how I view my needs and my wants. Needs: 3. Wants: 5,000.
{sigh}
Everything about this next chapter is new. That's why it can be so scary. We know we want change. We want the excitement that new adventures bring. We want to know we are capable of making a living and finding that we have within us the ability to make a life.
And yet I choke when it comes to the thought of walking into a furniture store by myself to purchase a sofa.
A sofa, people.
But new is good and I embrace it. New is an adventure. New doesn't mean I'm alone.
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a {new} creation."
New is a slap in the face to make me realize what it really means to trust Him. That He really does give good and perfect gifts, spilling out of His hands in the grace that covers completely.
So yes, cheers to little {new} beginnings. Let's discover this together.
