Speaking of a new president, and a new year, and a new puppy, and a new friend (Woohoo! A new friend), let’s speak of other kinds of new. I see new on this walk. Among the gravel, shimmers of possibility catch my eye. New like this…
The night stand tissue box moved to the bathroom.
Books on topics besides Heaven cracked open.
Real food cooked a real meal.
A travel opportunity might hop on the calendar.
Home is home.
Church found her in a seat, by herself.
The stalled garbage disposal didn’t panic her.
A party kept her for 2 whole hours.
A difficult appointment made it on the schedule.
A potential online class intercepts her thoughts.
Maybe not entirely new, but entirely possible. When gravel reflects the Son, a shimmer causes pause and wonder: is this new? Is it for real and to stay? Is new healing my heart? Does my heart want healing?
I think so. I’m willing to give new space and try more new. I’m catching shimmer. New shimmer. Shimmers of possibility.

You are soooo encouraging!
Well, you are encouraging me! Thank you so much for responding. What a joy.
God bless you today.
As the “new” is starting to creep into my journey I can shrink back out of concern and not feeling “confident “enough. And the”what ifs”. Now those are new thing to work through! It can be so difficult!
Keep up the good work! It’s certainly not for the faint of heart.
As my counselor said “be open to new relationships”. She trying to encourage me to enjoy my life! And so I shall…try.
Laura, I can relate to this. That confidence thing. It’s a monster sometimes.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart with me, your “new thing” with me. Your counselor encourages you, and you encourage me. Thankful thankful for you!
