SLOW

Psalm 90:14 “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.”

One of the things I have been learning this past year is what it means to slow down. Not just for a moment, but to slow down my entire lifestyle. This has been a long and slow (no pun intended) process for me, but it has been good.

DREAM

“A dream is a wish your heart makes.” Anyone recognize that quote? Cinderella has always been one of my favorite Disney movies. Cinderella is a simple girl. She is a dreamer. And she falls in love with a Prince. Can we mention those cute mice too?

Dreams are so neat. They are opportunities to think beyond what we think is possible and to think about the future. Dreams can be dangerous too, I believe, for if we place our hope in them, we will be disappointed.

OPEN

An open invite. An open opportunity. An open mind. An open heart. How do you feel when reading these phrases?
I see “open” as a positive word. Some synonyms include spacious, free, clear, accessible, and unburdened. What great words for a new year!

LIGHT

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

I don’t know about you, but I am drawn to light. I’d prefer a well-lit room, love seeing the sunshine, and like bright, vibrant colors. I don’t like dark places. Too many clouds for a long period of time makes me feel depressed. Dark, dull colors are pointless to me most of the time, and I’m always looking to lighten or brighten a photo.

NEW

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!”

It’s 2020. It’s a new year, a new decade. We set new goals, have new beginnings, and have new ideas. It’s a time we typically feel more motivated because we put the past behind us and look ahead. We feel excited and refreshed.
