A New Day...

Waking up early this morning, these words came to mind, as I stood outside…. This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it… I love it, and what awesome words to come to mind of all days!

Today, two dear friends get married here. It is something many of us have been working towards for many months now, many have flown in from all over the world and much has been planned to celebrate.

It has been strange thinking through it all, and the days ahead, that while this is a celebration of their marriage, and has nothing to do with us, those around them, on the other hand it has everything to do with us too, and it will change all kinds of things in the coming days, months and years.

We were talking on the covenant, and the promises that are made last night, of the closing of an old life and the start of a new, which is something I have also been thinking about recently. What a precious picture, of walking into a new day, season, time, the old being gone, and the new begun, the possibilities, the questions, the new adventure.

I am so looking forward to the coming days, the expected and the surprises, of seeing this new life unfold and grow, of that clean slate and fresh start. What wonderful days and possibilities for all… and what wondrous things God has planned…!

This indeed is the day the Lord has made, let us all rejoice in all that it means, the new beginnings, the hope, possibilities, and changes, growth and fruit and be glad in it..
