Like many of you, I'm experiencing the unexpected and facing many unknowns during this season. I'm doing my best to embrace many changes without freaking out TOO much. ;)

One change I'm having to make is readjusting my calendar. And by readjusting, what I really mean is using my eraser a lot. My calendar was full of speaking engagements in 2020. Just this weekend, I was scheduled to be with an awesome group of women I have come to love and adore at Lake Aurora Christian Camp in Florida. (Shout out to all my friends who would have been with me this weekend! I'm already looking forward to seeing you in 2021!) Yet, instead of boarding a plane today, I'm sitting at my desk, and this is my view.

It's a familiar view. A view that brings me great joy AND makes me exceedingly nervous at the same time.

It's a view I wasn't expecting to have in 2020 because of my busy schedule.

It's the view of my desk in the beginning stages of a new writing project. I can tell you in all honesty – this one was NOT on my radar! What began as a pure curiosity has quickly turned into a full-blown obsession. It gets me out of bed EARLY in the mornings because I can't wait to learn more!

I'll tell you this much – Y'all. God is blowing my mind with His Word.

At this point, I have no idea what form this project will have in its completion, but I can tell you this – I can't wait to share it with you. Are you kidding?? There's no way I'd be able to keep this to myself, it's WAY too fun!

Maybe your plans for 2020 have flown out the window, too. May I encourage you to be open to God doing a new thing in your life? Give Him the space to speak to you and lead you where you may not have gone otherwise. You may be surprised where you end up. It may not be what we expected, but I have a strong suspicion - it's gonna be better.

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19
