alright. i feel obligated to write a post for this year. and my reflections on the year.not that i don’t want to. i just feel it’s so… typical. which is okay sometimes. but, i think i reflect on my year many more times through out. than just Dec 31. I think THAT should be more typical. hm. anways.
so, here we go.
January. I started school. I registered at Summit Pacific. The first month was terrible.After a rough and slow start, I began making new friendships and was learning quickly. Remember, it had been 6 years since highschool!! However, thankfully my new grades didn’t reflect my highschool grades. maybe it’s because now i cared…!
February . school. rev conference.
march . i dont remember. maybe i went to GC conference.
april . school ended! my frist semester of school done!
may. my birthday spent with wonderful friends at special places throughout vancouver. worked at power to change.
june. end of may and early june i spent back in Hawaii. visiting. closing doors. finishing un finished business. closure came.. Stepdad had a heart attack back home. started shooting weddings with Jamie. such a wonderful opportunity!
july . weddings. hm. i know something else happened.
august. weddings. raodtrip to alberta with my mom and brother. HUCK reunion. rev camp.
sept. school started. student council role – commuter rep. we went on a retreat. friends from STN came to visit, and came to Summit.
october. school. car broken into twice in 9 days. laptop stolen – many many pictures GONE. my knee also got really bad and was inflamed for about 2 weeks – was confined to crutches. hard month!
november. school. made closer friends. new friends.
dec. maybe one of the best decembers on record. many special christmasy events took place. many wonderful memories made. a very different christmas than i’ve ever had, but grateful that every year can be different.
time and time again, i am BLOWN away by God’s timing. SO many time i think i’m ready for something when truly, i’m not near ready. In so many areas of my life, i see God’s patient hand guiding me to the next step – even through my complaints. I am thankful that he never gives up on me! that eeven when i try to prove to him that i’m ready – he doesn’t give up.
I am so thankful for how he protected me. not only my heart. but my body. although yes, my knee was really bad for a bit. I am alive! and healthy! And in that, i am soooo grateful that my step dad David recovered. He had two stints put in, but he is doing much better today.
Thankful for the fulfillment of promises. He is faithful.
I am excited for 2012. I am ready to face challenges, and embrace new memories.
there you go. there’s my new years post.
