Do you ever just sit down and take time to take inventory of life?? If you don't, there is no better time than now. If you are on the east coast, you still have a little under five hours which is plenty time to examine life in 2015 and make notes for progress in 2016. I'm not saying write resolutions you won't live by, I'm just saying see what you did wrong in 2015 and make it right in the new year.
I really wanted to write some lessons learned in 2015 so I can look back this time next year God willing and mark my growth hopefully. For me, the year Two Thousand and Fifteen came with so much promise. I told myself I was going to do all the right things to get to where I need to be and while I'm not quite there yet, I didn't do too badly. I marked my second year at the job, I learned a lot in my professional life and even started a road map to get to the very high and lofty dreams I have. The hubster and I marked our first year as a married couple and we also set our in search of a place to call home. We have grown tremendously as individuals and together and I can truly say God has been good. So many milestones too, I turned 30!!! Celebrate a 60th and 40th in the family, graduation from college, new jobs, new life journeys and beyond all this, the Grace of God at every turn in life.
In all this, lesson learned in 2015:
To be still and know the he is God! This year was really a year for me to understand that God doesn't do anything on my time. Trust me when I stay I'm still learning that lesson even in the hour that remain to close out the year. God has truly been faithful and how thought me to look beyond the now and wait patiently. If you know me, you know I'm not the most patient human but I'm learning daily.
I also learned to accept people for who they are and love them just as christ loves. Truth is, you can't change people by writing them off so why no love them into who God has called them to be?
I didn't just learn but definitely realized and experienced first hand that there will be obstacles in life but I need to press on and pray on and never accept no or defeat.
One important thing I learned is that growing up is definitely a vital part of life and to embrace it and not try to dwell in the past.
2015 has truly been amazing for me and I have my amazing family(hubs, parents, sibling, nephews, niece and great friends) to thank for it. Thanks for the memories and looking forward to making more in the New Year!
