2012 Summary

The highlights of my year can be summed up in pictures:
Dating & Getting Engaged to the man of my dreams

I traveled to many places my fav being Hawaii!

Graduating with my pals!

Spending time with my Niece

Growing closer to my family and seeing God work wonders in their lives.

I am thankful for everything that God did in my life over 2012 and the amazing blessings that he gave me. There was however a lot of mistakes that I made this year all of which I refuse to carry in to 2013.

1. People Pleasing -  I let people's opinions hold me back from being who I am called to be.
2. Peace-lessness - The majority of this year was spent full of anxiety, stress and no rest. I refuse to spend another year in that draining state.
3. Apathy - I need to invest in the people and places God has placed me
4. Desert dwelling - 2012 was a very dry year spiritually and I began to stop putting the effort in. So thankful the Lord doesn't let us stray to far!
5. Pessimism - The struggles of this year seemed to harden my heart a bit and leave me feeling hopeless and like change would never come. This resulted in become somewhat of a pessimist. Please Lord let me see my circumstances through your eyes!

*Sigh*...feels good to get that off my shoulders!
I am gladly saying goodbye to 2012 and I am full of expectation as I step into 2013! I know that it is a year of trusting God because it's going to be full of unexpected turns & big leaps of faith!
Thank you Lord that you go before us and prepare the way!
I lay this year in your hands - do with it (& me!) as you see fit.
