Whew, we made it! I have been hearing from alot of people how glad they are that 2011 is over. It was alot of things to different people and I am kinda mixed on my feelings..because the beginning was difficult but the last six months were so much better for us. We moved to Oklahoma and found good jobs and got caught up on bills, that is such a relief. One of the boys moved back to Cali. but another decided to move here, so at least we have one around..lol.
This past year was certainly a time of loss, several friends have lost a loved one and it's so heartbreaking, I am keeping them in prayer. Others have had financial worries and that in itself brings lots of stress on families and in their own health too. I'm believing with them that the situation IS going to improve this year!
Jesus is coming so soon and the enemy wants to keep us distracted and give up..but WE WON'T! I'm very thankful for the positive, God loving people He has placed in my life, they speak to my spirit and it quiets the storm. Never in my life have I had some of the crazy thoughts I've had in this past year..but I'm so thankful the anchor holds, no matter the how the storm rages.
The new year has so much promise and I pray I am ready to walk into it, not on my own..but with the Lord by my side. Cause I will surely need Him. So thankful for His promise to never leave me or forsake me. I am still on the journey, sometimes the path is easy and smooth and other times it's an uphill climb. But I am determined to keep moving and always get up when I fall!
