There are many things that have changed and been gone from my life recently and I’m sure you have experienced the same.
Yesterday on Mother’s Day I noticed some of the little things that have been added that have seemed small but they mean everything to me.
One thing, the other evening Marty and I got to go for a real date night across the state line where a restaurant was really, really open! I can’t tell you how much we appreciated that! And, oh that tea to go!! Wow! It was wonderful!
Yesterday we went to drive up church and I got a bright pink ink pen and a Cookies n’ Cream Hershey’s candy bar… what another precious gift!
That wasn’t the only gift I got there! I got to be in a car next to a lady that I had worked in a salon with for several years. I had just thought of her daughter recently, that had special needs, that I used to get to talk to in the shop. Sure enough, there she was! This girl is the sweetest girl ever and she was rocking out to the praise and worship music just like we were.
We sent her a thumbs up and she sent one back! It’s the little things! Then this morning I got this message!
This was a special gift that I got this morning! I was grieving some past things not being the same anymore but realized just today that new beginnings are happening… new things are rising up…. that the past is gone… it’s a new day and I don’t want to go back! I’ve changed and I like the change!
New ideas are coming to me… new ways of doing things! I’ve been waiting for this to show up and it is finally coming clear to me!
Breakthrough into the new!
Don’t keep going over old history!
New connections are around every corner!
Serve the new connections don’t try to bring the old ones back to life!
We got this!

“This is what GOD says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves, The God who summons horses and chariots and armies— they lie down and then can’t get up; they’re snuffed out like so many candles: “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’ —the coyotes and the buzzards— Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sun-baked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose, the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me.”
Isaiah 43:16-21 MSG
