Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016!
I feel like pretty much everyone starts looking back on the past year around this time. Perhaps it has grown a little cliche to do so, but I think it's necessary and helpful. So here are a few things I learned in 2015 if you care to read on: This past year was one of the hardest of my life. I dealt with heartache and depression and loneliness and confusion. I dealt with immense amounts of anxiety and fear. I was forced to cope with transition and loss. But I was also given love and hope. I was given Jeremiah 29:11 (I have a constant reminder that I wear and see every day). I was shown faithfulness and true loyalty. I was given strength. I was blessed with an immeasurable amount of healing. I was shown what it means to forgive and to give without anyone knowing or expecting anything. I learned what true friendship is. One thing I have struggled with for years is myself-who I am and what I'm meant to do. Well this year I think I got a glimpse from the Lord.
