"fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" - Hebrews 12:2

It has really been a whirlwind of a year. So much happened. But, if I were to sum it up, I would have to say that most of all, it was a year of growth. I grew tremendously in my walk with the Lord through studies at Countryside and because of personal trials that came along. I had to "grow up" and become an adult with this whole graduating and getting a job thing. A couple relationships grew and changed in ways that still amaze and bless me to this day. So maybe that is what life is all about. Changing and growing and learning. I totally love it. I can look back on this year and know that I am not where I was. I am not who I was. God has some kind of greater purpose. I am so thankful that He loves me too much to let me remain the same, even for a year. Even when that means change, or pain. Praise You, Lord, for growth. You amaze me.
Changing. Growing. Learning. That is the adult life. Some days its really not fun...but when you can look back and see where you started and where you finished in a year, its pretty amazing! In my 20's, I had so many women tell me that they wouldn't be younger again b/c they wouldn't trade their maturity. I TOTALLY understand now! There are so many things I would love to relive again, but I LOVE the spiritual growth and maturity I've gained as I've gotten older! I just look back and am thankful that I have so many great memories that I think WOULD be fun to relive. My advice: Live in the exact moment God has you in b/c you can NEVER get it back! I love you, my friend!!!!!! :) And....I love seeing a picture with you and your brothers b/c I've never met them and it shows me a side of you that I'm not familiar with! :)
I am a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. I strive to live for Him- to know Him and make Him known. There are other things in life, but He is the one thing that matters! :)
