WOW!! It's hard to believe 2014 is gone!
As I stop and take a look at the year, I am reminded of all the wonderful memories made, the emotions of loss that stopped me and my family in our tracks and made us stronger, building our new home, and more importantly I am reminded to live life to the fullest on a daily and not take anything for granted. God truly has revealed himself to me in so many ways; in my home, business and friendships. 2014 has brought on so much growth and a renewed thinking and I can't wait to see what God has in store for the New Year.
As I enter into 2015 one thing that I am taking with me is to "Stop putting pressure on myself to do things that God is not leading me to do." I feel like the one thing that gets us distracted in our faith walk is trying to take on things and people that are not suppose to be in that season of our lives. We sometimes get caught up in things around us, and lose sight of where we are really headed. Which causes us to stall in our faith and get into a bind with things that don't really matter.
Although we are sometimes thrown off by the unexpected in our lives, it is a great feeling to know that when you are being led by God, you can focus on where he is taking you at all times. So always remember if you have a set back, look at it as a way to refocus your thinking, but at the same time, stay planted in your faith.
I am also taking the words to one of my favorite songs by Hillsong into 2015:
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
