I remember wondering what lies ahead as I always do. New year, new hopes, new dreams... new chances.
I know for certain that my personal growth and development increased exponentially - major life changing circumstances were methodically aligning with my spiritual DNA. I began to experience a peaceful fearlessness that rendered strength to my soul.
Through God's grace, my thyroid cancer was nipped in the bud! As my doctor spoke the words, "no radiation necessary!" I remember thinking... hmmm, my work is not done!
2015 allowed me to experience my husband's love on a level I had never felt in our 40 years of marriage.
2015 ushered in a whole new branch of my family tree that I never knew existed, and the love from that union is simply amazing!
2015 I lost my aunt and the godmother to my daughter - but I found the aunt that I had been looking for years for!
I shed tears in 2015, but the love and joy that God placed in my life this past year made me feel not only blessed - but highly favored!
As I continue to reflect on my life, my most prized possession is the memory of witnessing my daughter receive her Bachelor's of Science degree in psychology. I cried for two days! Tears of joy! Tears of gratitude! Tears that my mother had not lived to witness this day with me.
You see my daughter achieved this goal as an adult - married with two small children and a full time job! She had barely recovered from having her second child when she said to me, "mom, you were right! I'm going back to school!"
So here we were witnessing this amazing woman receive her degree. I felt as if I was having an "out of body" experience. As I watched my mind travelled back to her teen and young adult years... the arguments... my fears and concerns... God's words echoed in my ears...
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."
"You are more than a conqueror!"
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
