Another Year

Well, 2008 is officially over now. As I look back on this year and am thankful for how God continues to bless me. Even though this has been a crazy year for our country, God has been faithful to me and my family. As I think back over the year, these are a few highlights.

1. My youngest started middle school ( and some other things too:) )

2. My oldest turned 16 and is driving - Yikes!!

3. I've been blessed to work part-time again, and God saved my job at Ford!

4. God started a new work in my life after going to Deeper Still.

5. I've turned into a tennis fanatic - just can't play enough.

6. I was able to visit with many old friends at GSU Homecoming.

7. God continues to bring people in my life who are now dear friends.

8. God is preparing me for the change in my Mom - she's not the same as and it has been hard.

As I think back over the year I can also think of some difficult, painful times as well. But, it is awesome how God helps us put those things away and mostly remember the good times throughout the year. "His mercies are new every morning - Great is Thy faithfulness." No matter what we may experience and no matter what this new year may hold, the one thing I know is that God is faithful and has promised to never leave us or forsake us.

May God bless you and your family in this new year.
