Looking Back So I Can Look Forward

My Year (2008) in Review. So many times we forget the blessings of everyday happenings, this is one of the reasons I love to blog, it allows me to look back on my year.

January: I became an Aunt to twin nephews!! (I can hardly believe they will be one soon, the last time I saw them, they were tiny tiny). And I got the biggest interview ever with Lisa Welchel.  I have to say the Lord has blessed me again for 2009, I have another BIG interview.  (all I can say is they are all “God blessings.”)

February: I discussed how being a Mother is just down right hard.

March: Sometimes our biggest lessons are taught while losing.  Became an Auntie again, a new nephew!

April: This month was a month of pruning and that hurts.

May: I read a powerful book called “When Answers Aren’t Enough, Experiencing God as Good When Life Isn’t.” And I became an Auntie again to a baby (girl) I have prayed for over 10 years!

June: I reflected on how time is going fast with my boys.

July: I found it is all about the journey not the destination.

August: Mother’s guilt when it comes to your middle child.

September: It the midst of Florida Football.

October: I got a year older and was reminded how much I adore my blogging friends.

November: I got my first letter from Mary my support child in Africa.

December: I have not written about it yet, but I had one of the best Christmas Days with my three boys. A day I know as a Mother I will keep in my heart forever.  And Mary my support child turned a year older (yippee).

Now that I have looked back, how about joining me in looking forward to 2009 (click the picture for details!)

NEW YEAR’S REFLECTIONS

Who: Everyone is invited

What: I would like you to post on your site about your hopes, dreams, and goals for the next year. What would you like to see God do in your life? How would you like to see Him move in things? Make this as general or as personal as you feel comfortable. What are your goals for next year? I am not looking for the “lose 10 lbs this year” answer, something a little bit deeper. When you look back to December 2009 where would you like to be?

When: Come back the first week of January 2009 (January 1 through 5th). (there will be a chance to win something)

I will be back after Christmas with more details.
