New Things...

I'm not usually fond of new things.  I prefer comfortable and worn, cozy and familiar.  New makes me nervous, anxious, and sometimes, afraid.  When the seasons change, I'm often sad for what is past, but hopeful for what it to come.  It's the hope that overshadows the fear.  

"Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare... "  Isaiah 42:9 KJV

New doesn't have to make you afraid.  New car? dress? stationary?  Those things can be new to you and bring happiness.  The new isn't what brings the fear, is it?   So, what is it?  I believe that fear does NOT come from the Lord.  Fear is the devil's way of drawing your focus from what God would have you do...think of Moses?  He was afraid when God called him......

That's all Moses did, wasn't it?  He decided to try...to trust.  And so, here I sit....trying out this "blog" thing, attempting to share my thoughts with you.  I'm no expert on anything.  I'm a simple wife, mom, friend, daughter, and follower of Jesus Christ.  Hopefully, there's something here to inspire, educate, or humor you, but if nothing else, I hope you find the courage to try.
