Closing out the old year, bringing in a new, one thing I have learned over the last 365 days is that it’s okay to wail in grief, scream for joy or completely abandon the good things of this world for God’s best we have yet see. Gearing up for what God has in store, I ask that I may be still loving, though discouraged, still giving, though spent, still patient though exasperated, still sensitive, though offended, still hopeful, though worn down by life.
