Taking Time to Reflect

                       2013 was a full year! Here are some of my highlights:

-       Sight-seeing in New York with my best friend
-       Getting plugged into a new church (fresh starts, aren’t they the best?!)
-       Taking a missions trip to Ecuador  that absolutely rocked my world 
-       A new relationship with a great guy :)
-       Exploring San Francisco with some of my cousins
-       Promotion at work
-       Finding out I will be a college graduate..VERY soon!

It seems like every month of 2013 I was being stretched and challenged in new ways. I grew a lot through this past year, I learned a lot about who I am and what I am truly passionate about. Probably the biggest lesson I have learned though, is to trust the Lord, even when its hard…even when its confusing…even when it seems like nothing good could come of anything that is happening…even when everything is good…trust the Lord.
            I have seen in this past year, the faithfulness of God when we just lean on Him! In any season, He has shown me over and again that His plans for me are good and prosperous, that they far exceed anything I could hope or dream up for myself. And, as I look to what lies ahead of me…graduation, the beginning of a career,  a completely new chapter of life…I can see the Lord’s hand in laying a strong foundation of trusting and relying on Him. I know that I will still have challenges, trials, and joys to face down the road, but I also know that my God is faithful and totally deserving of our complete trust.
So, take a minute to look back at some of the highlights of the past year. I hope you’ll be able to see all the ways He has carried you through, all the times He has helped to make your paths straight. I hope that you will look back with a thankful heart and move forward in confidence, trusting the Lord in all of the new things He has in store for you. He is SO faithful, SO good to us, SO worthy of all of our praise and affection!

sincerely,
Kaity
