If you're on Facebook, everyone seems to be creating a "Year in Review." It's basically a scrapbook of pictures and life events from the past year. To some it's been a great year, to some a year of hardships and sadness. There have been marriages, new babies, new cars, new boyfriends or girlfriends, graduations, and new jobs. There have also been deaths of loved ones, loss of jobs, and health issues. In the world, we saw tragedies from a missing airline and ebola outbreaks, to violence in Russia, Syria, and here in the USA.We also cheered for our country in the Olympics and World Cup.
Every year has highs and lows, good and bad, happy and sad.
The only way I found to deal with life is a relationship with Jesus Christ. He doesn't promise that everything will be fabulous, but I can guarantee you that knowing my life is in His hands gives me ultimate peace & comfort.
So here is my Year in Review
January - choir brunch, port in, 1st date with Mr. Chemo, snow
February - 2nd date with Mr. Chemo, more snow
March - quilting site went live, 3rd & 4th dates with Mr. Chemo, more snow
April - 5th date with Mr. Chemo, end of unemployment
May - LAST DATE with Mr. Chemo!!!, drove to Pittsburgh for business, phone interview, didn't get job
June - called back & offered same job, Ocean City, NJ with friend, travel to Birmingham for training, visit friends in Atlanta
July - home from training, leaky pipes, Poconos, live at parent's home, attend wedding, weekend with friends in Cape May, NJ
August - first follow-up appointment (good), move back home, my birthday, choir picnic, Poconos, lunch with family and friend from Japan
September - nothing special - just still working awful late shift
October - family reunion, attend wedding, fly to Houston, TX for business
November - another follow-up appointment, quilt guild retreat, Thanksgiving with family and friend from Atlanta, work shift finally changed
December - choir dessert cantata, Christmas
All that plus choir rehearsals, teaching Sunday School, Philly Modern Quilt Guild meetings, lunch with friends, working 40 hours a week and trying to find time to go to the gym.
What will 2015 bring??? I don't have any idea. But what I do know is that as long as I'm with God and trying to follow what He wants me to do and go where He wants me to go and do what He wants me to do, I know it will be, as Steven Curtis Chapman sings, "A Glorious Unfolding."
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
Thanks for your support & prayers in 2014 and keep praying for me in 2015!!!!
Only by His Strength,
Sandy
