Dear God,

The new year has begun, fresh and inviting.  There are opportunities galore to enter into blessing, inspiration and hope.  Will I open myself to them?  Will we?

It is so easy to remain steady without much movement or change.  But is this what we really want, more of the same?  If the answer is yes, there is little space for you, O God.  No room for your hand to move in our lives.  No space for your spirit to blow upon us bringing with it surprise, adventure and even comfort.  

Your challenge is before us.  What will we decide?

Holy God,

you are 

always fresh

and welcoming.

You invite us in

to tarry awhile.

But while there,

you offer

newness of life.

Please help

us see

great hope

in this invitation.

Yours, Andrea
