I’m not gonna lie…2022 and 2023 sucked. They were two of the hardest years for me personally and for my family. We faced A LOT of loss and walked through two years of fire.
Loss of a church home.
Loss of a career.
Loss of friends.
Loss of identity.
Loss of loved ones.
We have also learned A LOT in two years…
Learned to grieve.
Learned to fight.
Learned to forgive.
Learned to love when it was hard.
Learned to give each other space.
Learned that hurt is real.
Learned that change is healing.
Learned what true friends look like.
Learned to lean into our faith rather than our feelings.
As much as it sucked and as much as I don’t want to repeat it, one thing remained…the faithfulness of God! He never left. He was in the fire and walked each step with us. For that I am grateful and walking into the next year with open hands and an expectant heart.
So, as I sit here on my couch in my sweatpants and slippers, ringing in the New Year and welcoming year 41 of life I have hope that 2024 is going to be quite the year for my little family. It’s going to be the year that we all say “Is anything impossible for God?!?!” and “Won’t God do it?!?!”
I am putting the stake in the ground and believing that it will happen!
I am clinging to the JOY of the Lord which is my strength and walking into this year with a genuine smile on my face because God is GOOD!!
Praying for new and big things for this space in 2024!!
Happy New Year, friends! 💕
