Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011

While 2010 will not go in my diary as my favorite year I have to say it had it's good points. With so much change and disappointment this year I learned how to "roll with the flow" a little bit better. My friends would not describe me as a laid back girl so I'm still in training. 2010 could have been way worse so I want to stress that we are blessed beyond measure and there were blessings in the lessons from 2010...

Learned some things are worth fighting for...

and some things are not.

Learned I love Jesus and want all my children to have a relationship,

not a religion.

For a great post on this go HERE.

Understanding more and more where my strength comes from.

Learned this love could grow stronger and stronger.

Gma told me, "You can be telling the truth and still be gossipin'!"

In my town, gossip and truth do not necessarily go hand in hand.

I'm guilty of my fair share so I'm not pointing any fingers.

Lesson learned - healthy boundaries and standing up for what's right aren't so easy.

Lesson Learning - how to maintain healthy boundaries and stand firm.

Proverbs 11:12, Matt 7:5

Learned we have some great friends who love us despite our messiness and

tell us the truth when we need to hear it. 

Here's to 2011!

Bright Blessings to you and your family for a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year!

Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead!

-1 Peter 1:6
