God is on the move
A cry rises from the ground
As all the earth begins to shake
Can you feel the spirit move you?
Calling all hearts to wake
Life is rising from these graves
A voice breaks the silence
And warms the dying heart
Oh, this is just the start
'Cause we will open heavens
And well start the flame now
All the earth will shake now
As we scream Your name
Arise, heaven open wide
Passion filling every place
And now's the time
So let it move you
Cause something is about to break
We are falling on our face
Searching for movement
Give us fire in these days
Oh Spirit, lead the way
Hallelujah
Singing Hallelujah
Well cry out from our hearts now
(Open Heavens, Barlow Girl)

I had this song in my head the whole time we were praying as a family about the new year. I'm not sure why, but this song really stirs something in me. I guess it's because I really desire to be moved by the Spirit in ways I can't understand. As we were praying, I heard many things from God, but one of them was that Hallelujah should be our battle cry. To me, this means that we must be worshipful warriors (term borrowed from my pastor). I pray that I will be able to defend myself from the forces of evil, but that I will also be strong enough to kneel in worship to my King.
These are a few scattered thoughts about the new year, and really, I'm just typing what comes to mind next, so I don't expect anything to make sense. But the one conscious thought I can use to sum up this post is that God is on the move.
