Happy New Year from my family to you!
There is no Friday Fellowship today but I will be back in 2017 with a whole list of interesting people to feature here!
Thank you for reading here and for being apart of our family. I will be honest - there are many days that I wonder if anyone even reads here much any more and if I should consider hanging up the old blog. And then just in the last few weeks, I have received the sweetest, most amazing emails from readers and I know it's not time yet. Thank you for the encouragement many of you have given me. I love sharing this space with you!
I pray that 2017 will be a good one for you!

This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can’t get up;
they’re snuffed out like so many candles:
Forget about what’s happened;
don’t keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present.
I’m about to do something brand-new.
It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?
There it is! I’m making a road through the desert,
rivers in the badlands.
Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’
—the coyotes and the buzzards—
Because I provided water in the desert,
rivers through the sun-baked earth,
Drinking water for the people I chose,
the people I made especially for myself,
a people custom-made to praise me.
Isaiah 42:16-21, The message
