2010 is almost at an end and 2011 is just around the corner. So what happened in the year that was? I was thinking back this morning and found that a lot has happened since January 1.
Kayleigh, my oldest graduated from college.
Jonathan my oldest son, graduated from high school.
Alison and her husband Ryan blessed us with our first grandchild.
Simon, my youngest continues to grow and is in the sixth grade. His goal is to master the drums and guitar.
A great deal of things happened over this last year and it is good to sit quietly to reflect on them. Things happen so fast and we get caught up in the moment as they happen. Only to forget about them as soon as the next big event comes about. Looking back over the year I realize that a huge amount of things happened and many many blessings of God were seen.
If we are not careful we miss them due to business. God really desires us to remember. He does so because it shows us how he is at work in our lives, even during the bad times. When I reflect on this past year there were operations, graduations, slipped disks, courses taken and passed, struggles with losses and celebrations of new beginnings. In the midst of it all: God IS. What a beautiful thing to remember.
What will happen in this new year to come? what new places will we venture to? What changes in life will occur? All of these questions will be answered by this time next year. The journey is life and we are all on it. It is how we choose to handle the road that makes us who we are. God desires to walk with you and me every step of the way. I invite you to invite him! After all, he is the author and perfector of our faith, and each event that we encounter in 2011 is an opportunity to see God at work and thus increase our faith in the fact that he cares deeply for us.
