time flies...when your having fun?

i think time flies, regardless. fun, or not fun, it quickly passes us by. my oldest niece is 8 (going on 9 in april!) both my sisters have two kids each. college is no longer a year or so ago, but 4 1/2 years ago. my "new" job is no longer new - i've been there for a year and a half. i could go on and on, but my point would be the same. tomorrow quickly becomes yesterday.

happy new year. bring on 2009. (i've already had to cross out the 8 and rewrite it as 2009 once already, in my checkbook - it always takes a little while before it becomes normal...and then before we know it, it changes again) i haven't sat down and come up with a particular resolution for 2009, though we all have things in the back of our mind that we'd like to accomplish or change. i could go through 2008 in review. but just like every other year, it was a true mix of struggles and blessings all in one.

the scripture at the old years eve service at my church this year came from the book of numbers. a very common and familiar benediction...but i listened to it a bit better this time, and it is my prayer for all those in my life...that you/we would be filled with the Lord's peace. so may these words bring you into the new year:

"the Lord bless you and keep you;

the Lord make his face shine upon you

and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face toward you

and give you peace."

numbers 6:24-26
