For the first time in 18 years, my son Logan’s room is empty. And I have lots of feelings about it.

The lockdowns derailed his plan to live in the college dorms, but he just found a great apartment, and we moved him in last night - on New Years Eve.

As I stand in his quiet room this morning, I’m thinking about both the joyful and sad moments I shared with my boy in this space. And I sense the beautiful possibilities as he moves to the next chapter. There are many unknowns, but he is ready.

I also feel this way about our first day of 2021 - plenty of experiences from the past year to consider, but so much faith for what’s to come.

Today I am praying that you will have fresh vision and energy for the adventures ahead.

May you feel grace behind you, strength within you, and hope before you.

Happy 2021.

You are ready.
