So, 2013. Wow! It's been amazing, wonderful journey. A crazy, wild ride for sure- but one, that I wouldn't take back. I've the learned the joy of friendship and family, the faithfulness of God, and humility of spirit. Taking every day as it comes and rejoicing in my blessings. God's purpose still isn't clear, but I'm hopeful. More hopeful than ever that the steps that were made this year- the path that was taken will be instrumental in the year ahead.
Thank you to all of you who loved and supported me, prayed for me and listened to me- even read my illustrious blog. I am humbled beyond measure- I only hope that I can and have done the same for you.
Gratefulness fills my spirit as 2013 is in my rear view and 2014 takes it's place on the road ahead. May this next year be as hopeful and as prosperous as ever for you and yours- may God's blessings abound! Love to you all!

Hard Work and Free Time
Did you miss me? I know it's been forever since I last posted. The last few months since I started my data entry position have been a whirlwind and uber busy. I knew that this time would be one of hard work and that it has been. It has left me very little time to write, which I have desperately missed.
Since beginning this last job, I have also started working as a substitute teacher two days a week. These two jobs have taken all the energy out of me- for the first time in my working career, I'm not a salaried employee. So that means, if I don't work, I don't get paid. I don't have the usual time off for the Holidays and wow, both of those things have brought me to a place of extreme humility and gratefulness. Just as God intended.
I am blessed beyond measure- that I know for sure. Every time I get discouraged- I try to remember His Faithfulness- when I do- it often brings me to tears. I have a small group that I love, old friends and family that I have reconnected with- plus the numerous time He has provided for me financially over the last few months. Although, I haven't found a new church home, I know that something that awaits in 2014, plus a renewed search for the job/purpose God has brought me home for.
In 2014, my focus will be outward- towards serving my community, family, and friends. To share in my own way, the great things He has done for me. Many blessings for you in the New Year- Praying for All God's Goodness to Shine Down on You!-
