I wasn't really giddy when 2013 started. Let’s just say I got
up on the wrong side of the bed, sobbing about some cobwebs of 2012. The year had
the usual challenges, confusion, frustrations, bad decisions, tears and pain. Nevertheless,
I have enough reason to believe that 2013 was awesome. I had blessings and
breakthroughs. God used the tears to fortify my heart and show that He is in
control. I've been blessed with new projects, learned new things, met new people,
reconnected with old ones, went to interesting places, increased my cultural
competence, ate good food, tried new things, read new books, etc. I am blessed
with an insanely loving family and awesome friends. My list is beaming with
answered prayers. God has placed me in a position of success. He has cleared the
path and undoubtedly provided for my needs (even some of my wants). I am coming
out of 2013 stronger, blessed, and hopeful. I am excited for more blessings and
breakthroughs in 2014.
