fresh start


21 weeks.
147 days.
3,528 hours.

...a lot can happen to a person in this time span. And for me, a lot has...

Some bad.
Some fun.
Some confusing.
Some exciting.
Some frustrating.
Some unexpected.
Some hilarious.
Some painful.
Some new.
Some shocking.
Some easy.
Some uncomfortable.
Some humbling.
Some sweet.

...but all good.

Today (August 16), is the last day of my summer vacation and while all I want to do is recap on what in the world has gone on in my life over the past few weeks, what I really need to do (for the sake of encompassing and closing up this emotional experience I've had over the last 21 weeks) is just declare that I am making a fresh start... I just like the way it sounds and the instant mental image is sends
to my brain of a line full of clean laundry.

Fresh Start...
A clean slate.
A new beginning.
And just like the start of a new school year, the anticipation of what is to come and
what the year will bring, lingers in the back of my mind.

I have a lot on my plate.
Even more so on my heart and mind.
Yet I know that all of what God is doing in me and through me and despite of me is good.
And with that good I rest.

So here's to a clean and exciting and new beginning!
Enjoy this new season and ride with me...

...I have a feeling it's going to be one worth sticking around for ...
