2010: A Recap

Last year, I reviewed the year by posting the first sentence of the first blog of each month. I wanted to do that again this year. It showed me a lot about my blog and reminded me of everything that happened the past year.

2010

January: Happy New Year!!! 2010!!!! "Welcome to a new decade!!!"

November: 30 Days of Thankfulness, Day 1 "Its finally November and the holidays are just around the corner."

December: Christmas Time Is Here... "This is my most favorite time of the year!!!!"

What I love about doing this is I can see what my heart dwelled on. It was the beginning of a new decade and I can't say that this last year went the way I expected it too. There have been some hard things that we've gone through, but as I look back I can see that God took care of us and did the unexpected! I love looking back and seeing how God moved. Most of the time I'm so caught up in the moment that I don't stop to see what all God has done. I love that I celebrated my wedding and marriage this last year. I am a big procrastinator and I see that I took WAY too long to finish blogging about my wedding. So, I am commiting January 2011 to finishing that. I know all you out there in blog-land are just SUPER excited about that....but I want to get it finished. Its my way of "scrapbooking". I'm also reminded of my faith. That even when a year doesn't go the way I wanted it to or when I know I've had a year where I've struggled to find what God is doing, that I never lose sight of Him. No matter how hard it got or how mad I was on some days, He remained right there in my life! I love that about my God! He never leaves or forsakes me! I praise Him for that! I see milestones that I will look back on through out my life: my first home with my husband, our renovations to make it OURS, celebrating life, taking vacations with people I love, and celebrating my beautiful marraige as we closed the door to our first year! God has taught me this year that He is bigger than any problem I have or person in my life or cirmcumstance that could EVER come my way! He's powerful and wonderful and I'm blessed to call Him, "my own". He's shown me to be thankful in amazing ways and I can optimistically go into 2011 knowing that God will go before us!

Bring in the NEW YEAR!
