Change.

This year has been a journey and I can honestly say that I am enormously grateful for every stone filled road, every valley of depression, and every storm of destruction. I have been tested and sifted and I continue to be. And slowly, but surely the less desirable parts of me are being taken out. It is often painful and requires work and sacrifice, but I am being transformed day by day. I have never understood what a new creation was as much as now!

Perspective.

I have learned a lot this past year. I think one of the best things I have learned is that people can hurt you, disappoint, betray or even leave, but you decide your response to every single moment you encounter and what you choose in that moment determines how you view life. My life sentence this year seems to have been "it is what it is" and "such is life" . Guys, life is always good because God is always good.
