Year's End 2014

As 2014 comes to an end and I look back on all that has transpired, I am amazed. Life moves on with or without me, but this year I have been overwhelmed by all that God has done with me. From relationships in our family to our first major vacation, a part-time job to speaking in public, assisting others to receiving affirmation for myself...I experienced life this year, life in abundance.

I look forward to the coming year with anticipation and a bit of uneasiness. God moved me and enlarged my territory (if you will) in big ways this past year and I know He will continue to do so...if I continue to be open to Him. I plan to continue sharing this crazy journey I'm on called life and hope you will continue to join me!

Below:  "Uncle" Kevin with the kiddos. Ben and Kevin have known each other for decades, he was the best man at our wedding and has continued to be a dear friend of our family. He lives out of state, but always makes a point to visit when back in Iowa visiting family. If you ever make one of our New Year's Eve parties, you will enjoy our joint tradition of watching Home Alone 2, repeating all the lines and laughing hysterically.

'Till next year!
