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, sit in the silence, or completely abandon the good things of this world for God’s best we have only the eyes of faith to see. Gearing up for what God has in store, I’m praying that I would pour out love even when discouraged, still giving, even when spent, still patient even when exasperated, still sensitive if ever offended, still hopeful amidst disappointment.
