As I look back on February I see many things that I wanted to get done, but didn’t.

I see unread text messages, a growing to-do list, and unanswered prayers.

I see moments of joy and moments of loss; moments of fear and moments of bliss.

I see the brown grass thinking about becoming green and the naked trees ready to clothe themselves with leaves.

I see the desire for peace in myself and in the world.

I see the steps forward and I see the steps back and moments of stillness.

I see God and I see His goodness and I know He sees me, too.

I see waiting and wondering and wandering.

I see this in you as well.

In all of this I see how we are being made new.

Slowly but certainly.

And I see us marching forward into another uncertain tomorrow with faith.

A tomorrow that is filled with hope and change and love.

A tomorrow that is filled with questions and rest and growth.

A tomorrow that is filled with pain and grace and a morning cup of coffee.

I will step into tomorrow with faith.

And I hope you’ll join me.
