For Such A Tea Time As This

Hello my dear lovelies!

First let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR! Can you believe it, 2015! We're in my last year of the 20's for at the end of this year I enter the 30s. I have mixed emotions about the coming birthday, but a whole year to make this a special year. :)

I wanted to make my first blog post of 2015 something special was well.

I noticed that in 2013 my life was in a more positive state, I was doing my theme months and life just seemed to be changing though I wasn't doing that much besides my spiritual journey...then last year was one of heartbreak after heartbreak, and I lost a little bit of that positivism. Negativity was my new friend and complaining was my new favorite thing, even though I'm not generally a complainer.

I decided at the end of the year that I wasn't happy with my life and that I wanted to change. I wanted to get back that positive attitude, stop complaining and start living and focusing on the good stuff again.

I took up origami as something to help me relax, and it's done wonders. Beyond that is the reason for the title of this post.

"for such a time as this" is a quote from a story in the Bible. The story of Esther. Esther has been an inspiration for me in the last few years. I've read the book in the Bible about her, I've read two fictional novels about her, and I have 5 different versions of movies about Esther. "For such a time as this" embodies what I want my life to be about. Perhaps we're brought through different trials, blessings, paths, hopes, dreams, passions, heartaches... "For such a time as this"

For such a time as what? A time of waiting, a time of helping, a time of strength, of weakness where God's strengths shine! It's about God not about us, and Esther knew that, she gave up so much, and found love and salvation for her people.

But as this is my blog, I of course had to say something about tea time. Have you ever noticed that sometimes when we're just sitting, waiting, relaxing, having a bit of tea or coffee, that's when our best inspirations or ideas come about? That is sometimes when we learn the most about ourselves or our passions? So join me on this journey of 2015. Come along with me as I figure things out, and maybe you'll figure some of your own things out... for such a tea time as this!
Blessings and Prayers
