I haven't always been a morning person. In fact, most of my life I have been a triple alarm clock setter and a snooze button enthusiast. However, God has been teaching me something about the mornings lately. He has been teaching me how to live my life with joy, enthusiasm, and excitement for what every new day has to bring. And now, after 27 years I am pleased to announce that for the first time in my life I am desiring the dawn! This is actually a name that God gave me in Month 2 of the Race (desire NEWness to be exact), but God is continuing to use this identity to teach me things about life. And now I am not only desiring newness but also desiring the dawn because He wants me to be excited about every new day. Not to say that I don't still struggle a bit in the morning to get out the door, and I still enjoy my beauty sleep until about 8 or 9 when I can, but I am actively looking forward to what every new day has to bring and looking forward to what this life has in store for me. I am not overcome by fear and as I rest in the embrace of His love and promises I am learning to enjoy the journey and all of the steps along the way. Because whether the steps are small or big, He is sitting there delighting in my progress and cheering me on to the end, like a good daddy. And I am learning to take joy in the small things; a beautiful sunrise, a warm cuppa joe, a cheerful embrace. These are all gifts, not to be taken for granted. So it is with joy and gladness in my heart that I announce my new blog and website with a personalized domain at http://www.desirethedawn.com!! I hope that you will follow me here and come alongside me in prayer for what the Lord has in store here! I have posted this same blog there and hope that you decide to subscribe with me there and continue to follow me. My prayer is that wherever you are, reading this, that as I have, you may begin to desire the dawn and see the new life God brings everyday. That you may seek after Him and all the glory He has planned for your life so that you may live life at its fullest. I pray that you may see Him in the here and now and in so doing, be with Him in the time to come, after the sun has set for the last time. With Love, Desirae Dawn |
