End of Another Year!

Wow! we are at the end of another year! It is hard to believe! when I reflect on this past year, it has had it's share of challenges and trials, but also it's has had some wonderful times as well.

I can see spiritual growth in my life, which is great! I know for sure that God is totally in control of my life! But sometimes I wish he would not make me wait till the last moment to see his answer to my problems or questions about my life and where it is going, but I am sure that he has the perfect plan.

I am on vacation this week, I am almost done prepping my new laptop as the old one is having major issues powering on, I think the storm we had earlier this fall/winter got my wireless router which I had to replace and damaged the hard drive on my old laptop. So now I have replaced both. I am enjoying my new computer though, I would rather not have spent the extra money right now. I use my computer to dial into work sometimes so I really do need a dependable one, and the old  one was not dependable any more!

I thank the Lord for a wonderful church with pastors that preach the word and challenge me to grow in Christ every week! I am thankful for Life groups that keep me accountable and also challenge me to grow spiritually! Even through the trials there is soooo much to be thankful for!

I am also very thankful for a family that includes me in activities and holiday celebrations, I know there are people that do not have a family to be with and my heart really goes out to them. God has been so good and gave me so many blessing!

When I think about the people that are homeless, and I look around and I have a home that is warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and has food in the Frig and Freezer I am amazed that God has given me so many wonderful blessings! Except for the Grace of God that could be me that is homeless and hungry!

I am looking forward to see what the new year brings!
