As I sit here on the first day of 2017, I can do nothing but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I know so many people who experienced real loss and tragedy this past year and I can say, thankfully, I wasn't one of them.
2016 wasn't the easiest year for me. Like many years it carried challenges, fears, growth, tears and love.
Everything that I wanted to come to pass laat year year didn't happen. Some of those things are my fault, some I couldn't change, and some of them were simply God protecting me.
As I enter into 2017, I can honestly say that I don't trust God any less. I know that His word stands true. I can't make many declarations other than the fact that I want to blindly trust God. I want Him to use me and I only want to be where He wants me.
I am leaving doubt in 2016. God has been too good to me to doubt what He has for me, my family, or my marriage.
I pray that 2017 is the year I walk boldly in His word. This past year I have gotten so caught up in the things I wanted that I took my eyes off of the things I have. If I could promise myself one thing this year, it would be that I will not spend one day acting like God owes me anything.
I am blessed.
2017 I am ready for you.
