Don’t worry, I am not pregnant. As I wrote that title it occurred me how many different ways it could be interpreted, ha! Anyways, though its already over 2 weeks into the new year…I find that my thoughts remain in that wrap up of one year/launch into the next mode…that reflection and anticipation mode.
On the first day of this new year, I journaled pages and pages worth of the advenutres that encompassed 2009. There is a pretty broad spectrum-all within the 12 months of the past year, I was a social work intern at a girl’s group home, a Resident Assitant for on campus apartments, a student trying to finish up her last semester in college...and then came graduation where all of a sudden the tables turned. That benchmark that I had worked my entire life’s time up till, now had a check mark beside it! Oh the persistence of time! Then I moved home for 2 months, then moved overseas to Vietnam where I became a teacher and NGO worker. What a full year! What a full year indeed!
I find my thoughts reflecting on all of the incredible stories, relationships and new experiences that filled 2009. All of the reflecting leads me to be very expectant…expectant of all that the good Lord might have in store for 2010 (which has ALREADY proven to be eventful-two weeks in and I am a proud new driver of a motorbike!!! Watch out world!!! And yes mom, I will wear a helmet, I promise J). All of the reflecting has made me excited-not wondering about whether the Lord will do incredible things…rather, what those incredible things will be!!!
2009 was a great year and I couldn’t have fathomed even half of what ended up happening…so bring on 2010. Can’t wait to see what will fill my journal entry as I write on January 1, 2011!
Grace and peace and the third way,
Kait

Kait... I LOVE this... I actually chose a very for 2010 that I thought would be representative of this year and something I could cling to and remind myself of all throughout 2010. I too feel very expectant of some pretty amazing things that God is up to and I am so excited to be a part of.
Psalm 5:3 "In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; In the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectancy."
Be encouraged... our God is moving and stirring and speaking... may we join together as one body and listen!!
I love you!
and by "very" I definitely meant *verse* lol.
