What a year, 2016…you outdid yourself. It truly is amazing how much can change in a year. But many things are still the same. I lost touch with old friends and gained some amazing new ones. I realized I CAN love again. I conquered a physical labor job that brought more joy to my soul than I ever imagined. I LIVED in Japan for 6 weeks! I faced fear and stepped out of my comfort zone in so many ways. I gave my life over the Christ for the second time in my life…this time it was my choice. There are a lot of unknowns as I walk out the door this morning into 2017 but I’m not afraid like I used to be. I KNOW God has my back and I’ll be okay no matter what comes my way. I’m thankful to be alive. I am free. I’m hopeful for things to come. I’m grateful for everyone in my life and I’m happy you’re a part of it. I wish you all much peace, health, happiness, love, joy, and blessings in the year to come. Life gets hard sometimes but the sun always shines new light again. ☀ Here’s to a beautiful #2017 ❤ #journey #iamalive #writer #blogger #2017 #inspiration #grateful #thankful #blessed #alive
