Life begins with a clean slate of potential, but with no experience.
Then comes the changes life brings – things that split us into different aspects, different ages and stages.
Life turns us around, revealing sides we didn’t even know we had. The people we know leave deep impressions.
God’s presence shapes us in ways we cannot understand. The process isn’t easy or quick.
Some of the changes are big, others small; some are nearly invisible from the outside.
But in the end, the shape of our lives can reveal the love of God in ways we could not imagine when we first entered this world.
As 2020 begins, I am thankful for the blessing of God’s hand in shaping my life.
