Every New Years I write a blog reflecting on the previous year and finding myself in disbelief that it went by so quickly.
I should probably write something different this year. Ya know, change it up a little.
Nah, I’ll pass! 😉
Wow. I truly cannot believe this year has come and gone. Time seems to pass faster and faster the older I get. There are so many wonderful things that happened in 2017. There were also difficulties and challenges.
Let’s do a month-by-month recap:
January; started a brand new job that I LOVE!
February; adopted our sweet puppy Creed!
March; had my first Spring Break in years & got to spend it with my momma; & met new friends!
April; turned 26 & started my journey as a Rodan + Fields Consultant!
May; watched my cousin marry the love of her life and said a final goodbye to my sweet grandpa.
June; celebrated my 3 year wedding anniversary!
July; took an awesome road trip with my hubby!
August; started teaching my first class & started my first Graduate class!
September; received free tickets to see Brad Paisley in concert at the Grand Opening of MAD!
October; broke my foot leading to this being a VERY difficult month emotionally.
November; celebrated our Creed turning ONE & spent Thanksgiving with family!
December; found out some of the most amazing news on one of the hardest days of my life, the 6 year anniversary of my Daddy going to Heaven. Celebrated my hubby’s birthday & spent so much time with the people I love during our almost two week Christmas break.
This year I’ve learned that life is truly full of hills and valleys. I spent a lot of unnecessary time and tears worrying about things I couldn’t control, all to finally realize that God is in control. I just needed to sit back and TRUST Him. TRUST that He is good. TRUST that He is full of love. TRUST that He has great plans for our future. I spent too much time and energy worrying when in reality I just needed to TRUST my Savior.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” -James 1:17
“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”” -Psalm 46:10
My “word” for 2018 is TRUST.
What is your word?
See ya next year!
Blessings,
Mrs. Hannah D. 🖤
