Good Riddance to 2017! This year hasn’t been the worst but it has been a tough year. I had many blessings this year but the last half of the year has been hard. Between being sick off and on, hurting my ankle, which still hasn’t completely healed, and struggling emotionally I can’t wait to say goodbye to 2017. I’m thankful that God gives us a new year, to start fresh, to change, to grow, to keep moving forward towards that goal that I fell just short of reaching. Even better than that is God gives me a new chance every day, it is up to me to let go of my disappointments and allow Him to work in me and through those disappointments and mistakes. What will the new year bring? What will you let go of and allow God to use to help you become the person he has called you to be?
How are you welcoming the new year? As the last day of 2017 is down to it’s final hours take some time and reflect on this past year. Where did you grow? Where did you fail? What did God show you? Are you ready to make 2018 a great one?
Give God your fears, and watch what He will do. I say that, as I give Him my fears with shaking hands because I know a little of what is ahead. This post is short, but not to worry, there will be a long one in the near future. As I say goodbye to 2017 and wait anxiously on 2018 I will lean on His promises, as I hope you will too. May God bless you and keep you safe in 2018.
