31 Beautiful Things, Day 7: A Brand New Thing

This morning at our church, a beautiful thing happened. We became members. One year ago, I would never have predicted that we would join another church. We were so deeply grieved at what had happened at our former church. In fact, I think it was just about a year ago this week that I received an anonymous letter from someone at that church. I mean, really—an anonymous letter? But enough said about the old.

We have, for the most part, put that behind us. One of my favorite verses is from Isaiah 43:9: "I am about to do a brand new thing! Look! I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness for my people to come home. I will create rivers in the desert!”

Today, a brand new thing. And I couldn't be happier.
