I woke up this morning with last year on my mind. 2014 was not kind and I am not a bit sad to see it go. The only reason why Im not jumping up and down, flipping cartwheels that its gone is because it did get better as it progressed. When I opened my eyes this morning, I started replaying the events of Friday one year ago. I couldnt shake the sadness and knew I would have to just get through the next several days. As I checked a little social media this morning (its always easier to take your mind off your own problems by numbly scrolling through others, right??), I saw this video by my very favorite singer/songwriter and her husband. Theyre pretty great people and I adore JJs music, so I naturally clicked. This song lifted my spirits unbelievably (imagine... God knowing exactly what I needed to hear through a medium I get best... Hmm, Hes a pretty smart fella!) and I wanted to share it with yall: This year Im not looking back to who I was Because Im gonna be someone Ive never been This year Im not focused on the cracks in the walls Not keeping track of the all the times I fall This year So long to last year Its all becoming so clear Theres no use living in regret Lets fight a good fight Train our eyes to find the light And make this year the best one yet Starting right here Happy new year This year I plan on thinking less of I and me I resolve to think of us and we This year I cant wait to see what good will come To feel alive instead of feeling numb This year So long to last year Its all becoming so clear Theres no use living in regret Lets fight a good fight Train our eyes to find the light And make this year the best one yet Starting right here Happy new year! 2014 contained the lowest personal lows Ive ever experienced but also, as a result, the highest and sweetest spiritual highs as I got to fully understand Jesuss grace and redeeming love. As the year progressed, I was given blessings greater than I ever asked or imagined - certainly more incredible than I deserved - which simply was more proof to me that my Savior is a loving, forgiving, compassionate God who continues to work all things for the good. To say Ive been looking forward to 2015 is an understatement. Ive never been more excited about my abundant life and the adventures that God has planned for me!
