This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
I’ve trained myself to repeat this psalm upon waking almost every day of my adult life. But I cannot lie. During 2018, it became more and more difficult to recite. Up until the end, it was series of twists and turns. Some days upon waking, I would ask myself “What NOW, God?”
I’ve made a vow to make 2019 a year of restoration. I usually begin each year with a phrase or series of words, but this year there is only one word that resonates most with me. RESTORE.
