Change February 24, 2012

I am so grateful for change. I’m grateful that every day is a new day and we don’t have to keep reliving mistakes from yesterday. I’m grateful that you are a God of redemption. Who always wants to give us a fresh start. That even the concept of days is that of starting over. The sun sets and then it rises again. And every day is fresh and filled with possibility.

I’m grateful that you love restoration. That you make new life out of the old. And that you make beauty out of the dirt and the dust. If there’s one thing I know you want me to remember it’s that you make all things new. That what was broken can now be made beautiful. That anything can be fixed. That nothing has to stay stuck and that every day is a chance to start living something different.

I love change. I love new friends and new faces. I love traveling to cities I’ve never seen in person. I love trying new foods and hearing new jokes. I even love the simplest things like trying out new hair styles and wearing things I normally wouldn’t wear. I love firsts. Even though they’re hard. Even though they hurt sometimes. Even though they’re awkward and uncomfortable I still love them. Because with firsts comes freedom.

Tomorrow is a new day. A new chance at life. A new day to get it right. It’s new foods and a new restaurant. It’s new routes and new streets. It’s new possibilities. And tomorrow’s possibilities are endless.
