Frosty sunrise, originally uploaded by *Firefox.

But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:21-23

Not even two weeks into the new year, and all the ugliest aspects of my personality have made an appearance at one time or another. My first instinct tends to be despair, but I'm casting my undeserving self on God and trusting his ability to recreate in me a clean heart.
