New Year...

Happy New Year! It's weird I didn't really realize it was the year 2011 until I went to write it in my prayer journal tonight. I mean I stayed up for it last night, watched the ball drop, told lots of people happy new year but, something about writing it on the top of my page really opened my eyes and got me reflecting on my past year. The year 2010 was full of mistakes, tears, drama, fighting and a lot of other not so pleasant things but, somewhere in there I also experienced falling in love with my Savior, friendships like I never thought I could have, mission trips that changed my life, God's calling, really I could go on for quite sometime but, I won't. What I'm trying to say is as stressful and painful as 2010 felt a lot of the time the fact of the matter is that God has been really really good to me this year and I'm just so overwhelmed. As I look toward what 2011 will hold, with graduating and going to college and just sort of growing up, I know that as scary as that seems now and as hard as it will be at times I know that my Abba will be with me and that makes me excited to welcome this new year:)
