What Does New Life Look Like?

What does new life look like? Maybe it resembles a baby chick coming out of it's shell. All I know is I feel soft and curious, more alive than ever. Sure, I'm a little sore from slowly pecking through the hard shell of years of defenses that once protected me. And I'm not yet sturdy. I'm simply new, possessing all the stuff to become the solid, sassy woman full of hope and possibilities God knit me in my mother's womb to be. I'm looking at the world around me with my just-born eyes, and wow! All things are possible! I'm new enough here to believe it. The Creator, who spoke worlds into being, has said so. All things are possible; that's what new life--my new life--looks like to me.


How about you?


In love and hope,

It's exciting to see just how many possibilities there are! I'm glad to read about your newness. I, too, am new!!

Here's to all the possibilities and to living out what God has for us!

XOXOXO!!!

Lovely and encouraging post.
I'm still figuring out where I am and if I'm new or old or what. :)

mmm... beautiful to read...

I think I'm feeling hopeful for that new life, that the pecking through the shell process is (for now anyway) coming to a close, and the emerging to something new and fresh and healthier is also upon me. And I'm thankful to feel that hope, and that coming life.

My new life looks like REALLY trusting Him when he says he has it all taken care of. Breathing easy, watching my kids (that I teach) play, learn, and grow and not being so worried about tomorrow that I can't enjoy today. So new life looks like encouraging my fellow brother to go one. New life looks like me smiling from ear to ear!

You sound blessed and alive, Mair. It's so good to hear it. Me? I'm feeling like a turtle who is finally accepting that I'll never be a hare...at least not writing-wise. Today, I'm cool with that. In a few months...well, we won't worry about what I may feel like in a few months.

Have a blessed one. I'm glad to hear you're feeling newness again.

I can't tell you the joy I feel for you when I read those words. Welcome to the world. <3

I am happy to hear your news and look forward to hearing more about your "newness." I feel somewhat new myself with the lyme in remission. Suddenly I see what I thought was a boring life as a contented, pleasant life. Perspective is everything.
