New beginnings

“ Thus far has the Lord helped us.” 1 Samuel Chapter 7 verse 12.

It would seem that today is a very good time for a fresh start with the blog. When I first set up this website, it was just a few weeks into the first lockdown and the site was my lockdown project! I wrote a daily blog with the intention of connecting with people and trying to make positive suggestions for getting through the strange times of March and April 2020. As the year progressed, I found it hard to write a post every day and my musings became intermittent until by the autumn, they petered out altogether!
I’ve set myself a new goal for 2021. (I won’t call it a New Year’s resolution for that’s an invitation to failure!) . I will blog only when I’m guided to, because I offer it to the Lord as the means by which He might encourage or support someone who reads it.
That means that I must wait for the Holy Spirit to lay a subject on my heart and not write just because I feel like it. It may even be that the Holy Spirit prompts me to write when I DON’T feel like doing so!
I do hope some of you who visit my website to browse or shop, will also take a moment or two to read the blog posts and that you’ll let me know what you think by dropping me an email or a text. (Contact details are on the site).
So “Happy New Year” to all of you who ready this. May it be a year when the tears you shed in 2020 water the seeds you plant in 2021. I found that thought on Facebook and it seemed particularly apt for the transition from 2020 into 2021.
And why shouldn’t the Holy Spirit speak to us through Facebook!
