It has been an amazing year for me personally, and for this little blog. I am continuously floored by my readers each week. I know it's only numbers and those numbers really just reduce down to the click of a mouse, but I choose to think about the people behind the mouse.
I hope and pray that you are reading this blog and actually getting something out of it. That's why I write.
The different events I went through this year have helped me grow and change.
I went from not working to working an amazing job I love.
I have dealt with teenager issues with my kids, from talking back to one starting public school again, and one driving around by himself.
As far as relationship go, I've learned a lot there too. When you have honest friends like I do, it really helps. I am not one to hear about something I'm doing wrong and just sit on it. I do my best to change because I want to be the very best Jill I can.
I am a part of this "cult". (We aren't really a cult, but we joking call it that.) Jon Acuff, the writer/ speaker started a Facebook group of us some time back. It is one of the best groups of people. I have been inspired by so many of them publishing books this year. That is one of my goals for 2015! I'm putting together some of these blog posts and creating a devotional book. It's going to happen this year!
One thing we do in the group is pray about a word for the new year. My word this year is THANKFUL!
I am so thankful for everything I went through in 2014. I am thankful for everything God has done for me as well.
Even just the weeks before Christmas, I had blessing after blessing poured out on me. It was overwhelming at one point.
2015 is my year! I can feel it! There is an excitement and anticipation of what God has planned for my life. It's just bubbling out of my heart. I wish you could feel it.
It is my prayer that you too, will pray for and decide on a word for your 2015! It's a great way to focus and work on whatever you need to.
Who's ready to jump into this new year and watch God work? I know I am!
Father God, thank You for an awesome 2014. While it was not perfect, and I had some different issues, I wouldn't change a thing. You've walked with me the entire way. You have blessed me way more than I deserve. I am humbled by Your grace, mercy and love daily. Walk with me and everyone I know, and everyone who reads this blog in 2015. May we all be thankful for You, Your presence, Your blessings, and Your awesomeness. In Jesus name, amen
