The Journey

Right in the busyness of preparing for Christmas (3 days to go!)  I am starting a new blog!
I really don't want to focus so much on the new year ahead that I miss the joys of Christmas as I am looking forward to my Christmas so so much this year. BUT I sense something  within my spirit, a stirring, an excitement...2018 is coming very soon!   I get the feeling that there's something cooking! I have a sense that 2018 is gonna be a year of incredible challenges, changes, and mighty blessings for me personally so here I am trying to embrace the beginning of a journey which will start on January 1st 2018.
Now when we prepare for a journey it helps to know where we are going right? it's no good packing for a holiday in Egypt when in fact you are going to Iceland!
Hmmm so where is this journey taking me to? I don't know much at all about this journey except for colour! yes I have been dressing in all shades of black, grey and a bit of brown for most of 2017.        I believe that part of my upcoming adventure is to delve into colour, rediscover colour in my card making and papercrafts, in my dressing style, that's the start of it but there's much more I am sure of that! will I even change my hair colour? only time will tell!
This seems to have come at a strange time to be honest.... Since April 2017 I have been struggling with my eyesight, it's far less detailed than it was generally. I need much bigger print to be able to read and if the light is less than bright I have difficulty with day to day stuff. It's all because I have problems with hemorrhaging in my eye and I need an op to stop this before it takes my sight. I have lots of what seems like debris in my eyes and it really interferes with my vision at times. I am determined however not to focus on the problem. I can't let it take over my life (although the fear of blindness grips me at times). I have to use what I have right now (my sight) and hope that blindness doesn't come to me. after all apart from the inconvenience and loss of the little independence I have, what would I do? just sit there listening to the tv?
so apart from the obvious dieting after such Christmas festive indulgence and the need for an eye op that's all I know for now of the journey ahead but one thing I do know is that I will not be walking alone on this journey, my God will lead me and prepare me for all that is to come in 2018

Wishing you a truly blessed Christmas and 2018
with love, Teresa xx
