Reflections & Resolutions

For me the end of the year is always a time for reflecting on the past and thinking about the future.

This blog of mine does not always get my reflections but I promise I do it and have the journal pages to prove it lol. 

As time has moved forward, I have grown and moved several times, received two degrees, finally in my first relationship (YAY!!), connected with more great friends and strengthened bonds and connections, but I find that some of the things I still stressed and was dealing with in college have not change despite me going through it already. 

I still find myself to be overly busy with things and not always sure of its purpose in my life. I still have crazy big dreams and the scary part is that God has even bigger dreams for our lives than we can imagine and I have no clue about accomplishing them and the first step in following His will over my life. 

These past few months have been great but at the same time quite rough. I feel as one or two areas in your life seem to come together two or more other areas seem to fall apart or get dismantled. I have been doing my best to try to give it to God and trust in Him and the people He has placed around me but I won’t lie it is not easy. 

Before I get to my hopes and thoughts for the future I must first Thank God for everything that has led me to today. I know that He is with me in the good, the bad, and the ugly. I know that He is there even when I can’t seem to call out to Him, because I’ve let my feelings get the best of me and despite all that He loves me. I am so thankful for that and I have to remember to say that and think on those promises right now in this moment as I reflect on what has happened in my life and the world around us.

I have many ideas and tangible items, achievable goals that I can write for the new year. 

Things that come to mind include:

Connect with my family and friends more frequently (phone calls & letters)
Use the free cruise with my sister Z before the year is out
And the list goes on…
