This paragraph just made my shout yes, and feel tears in my eyes. I am here in my own journey. Be blessed.<br /><br />But the secret to beginnings is to close our eyes to the future, and open our hearts to the present. To firmly shut the gate on all those insecurities, those nagging questioning pushing persistent doubts and say, behold He makes all things new. And we open ourselves up again, and again and again until the whole of us is soaking in the sun and running through rainstorms and all the while reveling in what's new.<br /><br />just LOVE those words of yoursNics Cahillhttp://www.saltandsparkle.com/home/2011/8/19/coming-to-america-new-five-minute-friday.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849616750998090319.post-70699067143699125812011-08-19T09:13:40.467-04:002011-08-19T09:13:40.467-04:00So, so beautiful: "And we open ourselves up a...So, so beautiful: "And we open ourselves up again, and again and again until the whole of us is soaking in the sun and running through rainstorms and all the while reveling in what's new."

This is so hard to do, but if we do we open up so many possibilities of what God wants to do in our lives!<br /><br />On another note, I am starting a series soon on my blog about my season of singlness and what I learned. (I am married now, but was single for longer than desired, so I have a soft place in my heart for this stage of life.) I would love for you to check in out and hopefully find blessing in it.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your post this morning!
