Reflecting and Moving Forward

Looking back to 2008, it was a roller coaster ride of a year. Some of the great things that happened were in between lots of trials. Towards the end of the year I constantly felt like I was in a boxing ring and just as I was standing back up I was getting knocked back down only harder. I can gladly say I am glad it is over.

I am really excited to see what God has planned for us this year. We were just talking the other day about preparing for the next step in our walk with Him. We're both laid off, bad news right? Wrong. God has given us a perfect opportunity to start making better changes. It's like we have a fresh start. Where do we want this year to take us? We know we definitely have got to move closer to church. We both want to be more involved with the marriage ministry and other callings. I, personally, am super excited about my tattooing. I've gotten two under my belt so far, and I'm so excited to express God's love through art on all the people He's lined up for me! We want this year to be one of the years where we take a gigantic step in our faith walk. We're giving it all to Him!

And even though it's only the fourth, I've already learned this: Never, EVER, put goldfish in the same vase, no matter the size, with your flowers. Fish do not like flowers...sorry girls...we'll get you new ones!

Verse I'm reading that has inspired me today: Joshua 3:1-13. It all so easily has been interpreted into what we're going through.
