I’m holding on . . . 12 months later.



So I return to the outpouring of words. Quite a season it has been! Ode to the Red Bird Who Slams into Our Window was certainly a strong symbolic theme throughout the year, and I had to sing that song of hope through unexpected and powerfully dark places.

When I started this blog, I wanted to carry out the GenX in Midlife theme. Now, I guess I’ll just continue living as a GenXer through midlife, let God carry on with what He started in me and those around me, and see what comes through words as I return to some regular writing. I think I’ll focus on HOLDING ON AND LETTING GO for a while this time around.

I thank God for being light, life, strength, refuge, song, and hope.

And I wish that darned bird would stop slamming into my window . . . he’s still going, 14 months later.

“I will sing about your strength; every morning I will sing aloud of your constant love. You have been a refuge for me, a shelter in my time of trouble. I will praise you, my defender. My refuge is God, the God who loves me.” –Psalm 59: 16-17
