New things doesn't mean new me

There are a lot of new-ish things in my life. Well, a few. And as I am rebuilding my life and looking to God for direction and so on....a lot of encouraging friends have mentioned my fresh start...new start...start from scratch and (insert your own starting over phrase here). It has made me think about this (poor neglected) blog. Do I want to edit it, to hide posts from before, posts that talk about my previous marriage etc...Do I want to just scrap this blog all together and start one with a different name? And I think the answer to that is....nope. If God's grace is new every morning, and if He is renewing my spirit, creating in me a clean heart...and all the other songs/psalms we hear...then why would I want to abandon this blog, or change the way it reflects my life? I am still in the same place in many ways, I am left without any of the normal things we use to define ourselves. I am waiting and seeking, I am still being encouraged by friends. Still lots of the same goodness. I have spent the past month soaking up family time and friend time. I don't know what's ahead, really in the dark here. But my heart is the same heart, and it is in the same hands of the One who created it, and so I am starting fresh, from here, with peace and excitement.
