Looking Forward to a New Year

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions. This year will be no different. However, I do like the feel of a fresh start, as much as I regret the end of the Christmas season. What I find myself thinking of most as we start 2013 is that this will be a year of transition and a radically different life from the one we've known so far. We can finally say that NEXT year we plan to move to Brazil! What I feel now is a strange mix of excitement, apprehension, nostalgia, and faith - not necessarily in that order. So Happy New Year - may God bless us and guide us as we follow Him, knowing that He has the future in His hands.
