2013… I have no words that can describe what this year did to and for me.
I have never been more joyful, cherished, hopeful, excited, or right where I need to be.
I have never grown more, believed more, prayed more, written more, or felt more beautiful or useful.
I have never heard God's voice, felt His presence, or let Him heal me more perfectly than this year.
I have also never felt more desolate, cried more, or wished I had never been born more.
My world and heart were ripped wide open in 2013. That didn't change when midnight strolled through my door on the first day of 2014 and I don't see it changing any time soon. So now I have to make a decision about how that shapes me.
That is why 2014 is going to be the year of character development.
There are far too many parts of me that flip flop their views on a day to day basis. This has to be over. I need to build a better foundation to stand upon when I get thrown a curve ball or tossed into the middle of blizzartsunmacainquake (a storm with all the worst parts of a blizzard, tsunami, hurricane, and earthquake).
This year might suck and it might be exquisite.
Let's get started.
