While I wait for my chinese food.

Ola. Happy New Year!

It's been ages again. Mainly because I never really know what to say! But I've been inspired today to keep this up at least semi-regularly.

Last year was interesting. This year is going to be exciting! Last year was full of lessons and mountains to overcome and this year will be full of blessings and growth.

I've been comparing myself to someone today (usually an error!) I know a young woman who is full of life, and passion for the broken. She reminds me of Jesus in lots of ways, and as I look at her attitude I can't help but think mine is lacking something. But then as I was feeling a bit 'second rate' God revealed something to me. He makes us all different and we all have different purposes, if your eyes are open you get to see that it all works together in a beautiful, complicatedly simple, intricate pattern. There are people who lead people to God and people who lead Gods people. There are people who love the lost and broken and people who love to enable God to fix the found. We are all made to be who we are - the best, most passionate version possible. And that's my aim. I want to be the best Sarah Alice Porton I can be. I want to be a blessing and be blessed.

That's my prayer!

Amen.
