2011...Arise

Another year to be reviewed, another year to be lived; the moment come and gone. 2010 was a year I entered into broken, wounded, waiting for a healer...2011, I am still waiting, though with different wounds, broken in different ways; a work in progress in which only the Maker knows the date of completion. The love has changed; deeper, stronger, more patient. His words to me for a new year:

Song of Songs 1:10 - 13

Arise my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me.
See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.

In 2011, I will follow you.
