Dear Daughter,
You came to the Writers' meeting with me today. Thank you!
I want to write, but I am struggling with knowing my audience. Then, I pull back and just think of you: you are my audience, and I know how to talk to you.
A new semester is beginning, so you will be doing new things.
Your new start is with the driving course. So proud you are gaining new skills.
Learn well, grasshopper!
Isaiah 43:19English Standard Version (ESV)
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 14th this year. The Christmas lights are still out, and it does not seem desert-like at all. In fact, it got bitterly cold today.
So, imagery that would resonant more with me tonight would be God making a way in the chill, offering a hot fire in the fireplace, warming me up again!
In fact, I have not connected with enough family and friends with Christmastide that I do feel I am in a desert of sorts.
