Redemption
When 2022 started iI to ponder, "What would be describing word for this year?" The previous two years, I would use the words Crucified and Broken to describe, but I knew in my heart that 2-0-2-2 would be different. We end 2021with the beginning of a huge transition. I started a new job, and we will be moving. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to vulnerable and raw? To allow yourself to let go of pride and fall on your knees before the Lord and say, " I can not live my life without you leading the way? I found myself here, and it is a difficult process of pruning, but what you have to gain is so much more. I believe that is when REDEMPTION comes in. 2022 is my year to see God's REDEMPTIVE purpose for some of my family's hard seasons. To start over in a brand new place, into the unknown with the known, that God will carry us through. I am 100% sure I will never have ever reason why answered until I see Jesus face to face, but I at least have peace that he is with my family every step of the way. The capacity to love and be joy-filled in a brand new chapter in my life. To have the ability to be okay with not knowing everything that is headed our way. Redemption is in my Redeemer's hands, and he knows my day before it even begins.
I challenge you to get your descriptive word for this year and stay true to its meaning, but most of all, I challenge you to fall on your knees and create the capacity in your heart to step in from the sidelines and let Jesus in.
