Well in my thoughts of a New Year write I have been tossing around in my head and heart all week and not being sure where I wanted to go with it I started a search of my music to see what would trigger my muse. Then I ran across this song by Garth who seems to speak to me quite alot here lately, but the more I listened to this song the more I could relate to it Then I remembered a picture I had taken some years ago and they just seem to fit together
This picture is of what appears to be a never ending path of protected waters of an unknown destination. It dawned on me that no matter where it leads I still have to sail it. I have to go down my destined path that God has laid out for me trusting and knowing that He will place me where He needs me to be. That I can not look at the unsuccessful aspects of my life as a failure, but as a learning experience and that I probably have so much more learning to do.
So this river of life that I sail upon is my destiny. Where it ends? Well only He knows... I just have to continue trusting and having faith in the Captain of this ship I sail upon knowing He will not let me fail. Stumble and fall yes, but never fail.
So with those thoughts I wish each of you smooth sailing this next year. Know that He is with each of us every day... We just need to have faith...
Happy New Year From my heart to yours Remember What Must Be Our Anchor In Life
Hugs and Love Donna

My friend this was beautiful as always. So many truths. Sometimes it is hard to sail that river
but it is not as hard when we know that we have Dear Friends that are standing in faith
beside us when the water gets rough.
A truly blessing of a write... your words are very motivational... our mistakes can be our greatest success if we use them to learn... another wonderful write.
Welcome

have come straight from the heart,

Some are true life experiences,
some are fears, and some are
dreams for the future.. more..
