Heart's bubbling over with all the emotion that is evoked at the sheer beauty of this music. How could something so simple draw out so much? Incredible.

The new year's about to be ushered in, and aptly brought to a close in the company of the dearest people to me, and on a note of reflection thanks to a wonderfully planned retreat. Thank You for bringing me back to You, for the rediscovery of all these beautiful truths, for the honesty You've allowed me to face up to myself with. Let me be pure in intention when I share all of this with others, although I do want to bring them to You.

I shall resolve not to indulge myself solely in the beauty of the music and work to uncover the gems of faith which you plant within it...I will challenge myself and learn to recognise Your face in all things, and challenge those around me to do the same.

Happy new year, and thank You for coming in different forms to us, being different things to us based on who we are, based on our individual weaknesses and strengths, brokenness and experiences. For coming to us where we are, to the point of choosing to humble Yourself in human form. Emmanuel!
