There is all manner of newness at our house . . .
. . . the learning to live without Mom, to be expected kind of new . . .
. . . and second shift. Which is really a return to something old. We're second shifters and we're happy here. We know that makes us weird, but so does any number of other things! I say, welcome back to seconds!
. . . and a (slightly) new way of schooling. Homeschooling is about flexibility and determination and frequently reinventing things. I'll have to write another post to fully explain. But it's a good thing!
. . . and my motto for a new year: post tenebras lux.
. . . and finally, a new venture. Steve and I bought a domain name, created a matching email address, and are stepping out of our comfort zone. We are dreaming big dreams but taking small steps. More on that to come as things progress.
*Thoughts on new: Sometimes it's the "other than the former" kind of new. Sometimes it's the "bring back the old" kind of new. But none of it is the "new under the sun" kind of new. That's the kind of new only God does. He's the only one who does something totally new. He is the only author of "newness of life" (Romans 6).
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
