What's in Your Rearview 2013-2014

I am so excited to finally be sitting down to carve out time to write in this blog. So may things,  events and circumstances have taken me away from what I love. You probably would not believe how many times I have sat down to pen something or to just get the emotions out... and time, work, family  and life just happened. I can not believe it has been over a year since I have shared with you all.

Every year I do a "What's in your review" type of deal to look back to move forward. A good friend once told me "time changes everything" and that is so true (thanks Jay). In October 2012 I lost my mother 2 weeks later I lost my Grandfather and on Mothers day 2013 my father had a life saving liver transplant at the Cleveland Clinic. In the midst of all of these life altering circumstances I managed to graduate with my Masters in Biblical Counseling. In the midst of it all  God provided he covered, he blessed and he kept me and my family. I am more than grateful for the peace God gave me in the most troubling times of my life.

I think in this last year, maybe year and a half I have learned more about myself than ever before. I have had my world turned upside down with grief and uncertainty, changed my career completely and left my old job. I have found out who is about me and who is not. I have found a inner strength that I never knew I had. 

I don't make new years resolutions but I believe if you want something different you have to do something different. so here are 4 things that I resolve to do not, as a new years resolution but as a life resolution.

1.) I will pour energy and love only into those who are pouring energy and Love into me and support those who support me.

2.) I will prioritize my health and well being, mentally, spiritually and physically. 

3.) I will make power moves and be relentless about building for the future.

4.)  I will accept absolutely, positively no more empty love relationships! I will only accept the love I deserve.

Well there it is transparent... the good, the bad and the not so pretty. I pray that you embraced all that you have learned in 2013 to make a better 2014. What's in your rear view?
