Went to church. Got to see a lot of my friends and catch-up on what was going on with each of them. I was reminded that everyday is a new venture. There are new blessings and challenges regardless of the new year.
I heard from one friend of her mishap with falling in her attic and her son is in need of surgery. Another friend was just told a few weeks ago that the company that he worked for was being sold. And there are others who are facing untold challenges.
I don't want to just hear about the needs of others but want to actively become an instrument of change, where and when I can. That may be as simple as listening to a friend in need or offering whatever feasible support needed. I want to see people as God sees them, so I can truly hear them and not be afraid to love them regardless of where they are at with their journey.
I know that I don't have this whole thing called life figured out but I know that living each day brings new understanding to God's ways. I may not always like how the challenges make me feel but I continue to learn the meaning of not leaning on my own understanding.
