I love clocks!
I thought a New Year's Eve post featuring some of my
beloved,
quirky
and sometimes broken clocks
and sometimes broken clocks
was fitting.
For years I felt a little uncertain about the next year to come.
If it had been a good year, I felt a little nervous about the trials of the next one.
If it was a bad year, I was relieved that the current one was over.
I don't really think that's the way it works.
I doubt God is up in heaven deciding which years will be bad and which will be good.
Life is full of trials and joys
that aren't respectful of the calendar.
He knows what things to allow in my life
and
what things to protect me from.
(Like nearly getting hit by a train)
(another story/another post.)
It took me a long time not to fear the future
but
I still need reminders now and then.
The
thing I was sure would happen...never did.
And the things that happened weren't as bad as I thought...
or
I knew the Lord was right there with
me.
"For I know the plans I have for
you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you a hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 N.I.V.
Happy New Year!
I hope that all my friends and family have a blessed start to
2013.

Best wishes to you Katie and your family in the coming year!
