trust

Standing on the threshold of this new year, I tried to think of one word that I wanted to echo throughout the days, weeks, and months. 

 The word that came to mind: trust. 

  

I stumbled so, so much in the last year. And I let it tear me down. I held fears, worries, and heartache inside of me that I was unwilling to relinquish, even though they felt as if they were burning me from the inside. I was fearful that if I gave that up, I would be launching myself into an abyss of apathy. That there wouldn't be anything else.

This year, I'm going to trust instead. Trust that the One who loves me everlastingly will give me peace that surpasses understanding in exchange for all of my doubts. 

This year, this dear 2015, will not be walked alone.
