Goodbye 2009.

Tomorrow is the last day of 2009, and I am looking forward to a new year.  A fresh start, including a big move (shh, more details soon) and settling down after a year of lots of upheaval.  Goodbye, 2009.  I will not miss you.  I will wholeheartedly embrace 2010, hoping for the best and praying for God's peace, provision and guidance throughout the year.  He is always faithful and true, the One we can depend on in every season of life.  This song by Sara Groves has been the theme song of the last year, one I find myself singing all the time...

Morning by morning I wake up to find

The power and comfort of God’s hand in mine

Season by season I watch Him, amazed

In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He’s always been faithful to me.

I can’t remember a trial or a pain

He did not recycle to bring me gain

I can’t remember one single regret

In serving God only, and trusting His hand

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He’s always been faithful to me.

This is my anthem, this is my song

The theme of the stories I’ve heard for so long

God has been faithful, He will be again

His loving compassion, it knows no end

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He’s always been faithful,
He’s always been faithful
He’s always been faithful to me.
