You spoke and made the sunrise, to light up the very first day
You breathed across the water, and started the very first wave
It was You
You introduced Your glory, to every living creature on earth
And they started singing, the first song to ever be heard
They sang for You
You make all things new
You make all things new
Then the world was broken, fallen and battered and scarred
You took the hopeless, the life, wasted, ruined and marred
And made it new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You redeem and You transform
You renew and You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You
You turn winter into spring
You take every living thing
And You breathe Your breath of life into it over and over again
You make the sunrise, day after day after day
But there's a morning coming, when old things will all pass away
And everyone will see
You make all things new
You make all things new
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and come restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You
Now and forever You are making all things new
You're making all things new
Hallelujah...

Welcome to my new blog! When I thought about a name for this blog, I just kept coming back to wanting to share all that's new in my life. I feel like I've truly entered a new season of abundance in life - one I've waited for for so long. My friend Stacey always refers to the seasons life has, and I think that's a beautiful way to think about it. This is a new season. All things are new. Things are good, and good things come from God. There's always a song playing in my head, and this year more oftentimes than not, it has been All Things New by Steven Curtis Chapman. So, that's how I came to name this blog. I'll be working with the same person who designed my original blog's headers to come up with something fitting for the new header in a couple of weeks.
I feel very blessed to be enjoying this time of life. In the days to come I will share my wedding plans with you. I've found that planning a wedding is nearly a full-time job in itself! So many decisions to make. Wow! But it's a lot of fun as well. Michael and I just returned from the Sonoma Valley where we'll be married, and while we were there we met with all of our vendors to make the final decisions regarding flowers, the cake, and catering. I also had a trial run with the gal who will do my hair and makeup on the big day. I think she did a good job with what she had to work with - remember that bad haircut I got back in April? I'm hoping for a couple more inches in length before the big day.
It's all coming together.

Hey Joannah!
Ok, first I have to say "Congratulations"!!! I was speechless when I checked in with your first blog and found out about the new and exciting path you're on. It sounds like the past 6 months have been incredibly busy, exciting, and emotional. I am very happy for you, but at the same time kind of bummed at having missed out on all the excitement as you were preparing for your big day. I would have loved to hear your plans and stories over lunch in the 4/5 pod!
I still really enjoy popping in and reading your blog. In fact, I finally began a blog of my own a few months ago. If you're curious about what in the world I might be blogging about, the URL is www.gettingunstuck-michelle.blogspot.com. I am just getting familiar with the medium, but am quickly realizing how potentially addictive it is!
Hope you are enjoying married life (your husband is quite the handsome fellow, BTW). Please know that my fingers are crossed and you are in my prayers as far as the family thing goes. I know you're going to be an awesome mom here someday soon!
Take care and enjoy your weekend!
