An often contemplated subject that rolls around in my brain is newness. We are told that God makes all things new; that we are a new creation, that God's mercies are new every morning. An integral part of life is newness. New things are a thrill to me: the smell of new books, new clothes, new carpet and new cars, the feel of a new baby's skin, a new bloom or a cake fresh out of the oven. Why does the human enjoy new things? I think part of the reason is that we were made in the likeness of a God who enjoys new things.
I did something new the other day. In hopes to establish a closer family connection I employed a modern tool and set up a group blog with the contributors being my parents, my siblings, our spouses and our kids (eventually).
What new thing have you done lately? Today is a new day. Start fresh. Start new. (Philippians 3:13-14)

My books...
English title: In Search of Reality and Newness. This is the first book that I wrote. We self published it. The main idea is that in Christ we can know the true reality and newness of life.
English title: Faith Dreamer. This is the second book I have written, also self-published. The book is the first in a series designed to draw the Latin women into a relationship with their Heavenly Father. This particular book helps women to dream big as they look closely at Rahab and her story.

hmmm...good thoughts.
new?? I'll have to think on that one.
I will email you back soon - busy weekend :)
:) This one made me smile. I love how ... specialized ... God made wach one of us. With a certain personality, or certain likings that draw us to the 'likeness' in His nature. :) I like that. The only 'new' thing I did recently was clean (almost) the whole house. If you knew me, you'd know how big of a thing that is. :]
Okay oops. I meant to say 'each' one of us. Not wach.
Gotta love a box of new crayons!
