2011.

1.1.11

today begins a new year in the like of K. Riley. Of course there is much thought about the future, about what fresh exciting things this new year holds. But there's also some hesistation because of what the past turned out to be...

It may be a surprise to some, but 2010 proved to be a very trying year for me. Sparing you the details (and me, the agony of reliving it all), thinking about the past year brings tears to my eyes and pain to a wounded heart. Yet even as u write this, and as the minutes run down on the first day of this new year, I find courage and strength in knowing that in Christ, the old is gone and all things are made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Idk what God has in store for me this year. But I think I'm finally at a place where I am ready to listen to Him. My past still pains me now, but I truly believe God will use those experiences to help someone else. I think He already is...but more on that later :-)

until l8r, keep running. <3
