A look back on the past year.  I think that it can be easy to always think ‘this next year is my year’ or ‘anything will be better than this past year.’ But whether you realize it or not each year is pivotal and plays a monumental role in the person that you are.  I know that I am young but if there is one thing, I now have begun to realize more and more each day is that when life is easy no strides forward are being taken.  I now more than ever enjoy living in the hard because I know the wisdom, knowledge, and growth that comes out of the hard times far surpasses floating through life. 

So, if you think that 2019 was a rough year, remember how far you have come.  See the trials that led to growth, the tears that pushed you forward, or the heartache that made you stronger.  Even if you only learned one thing this year that is one think more than you knew last year.  Remember those times and sit back and see where you are now and how much stronger you are now than this time 1 year ago. 

Or maybe 2019 was THE YEAR. Goals were accomplished, relationships were formed, and growth occurred. Wow. How amazing.  Carry that over into the new year. Let that strong finish propel you into more growth, stronger relationships, and accomplishing more goals.  Continue to set what most people will think are ‘unrealistic’ goals, and then don’t stop until you get there. 

Praise God for the good and the bad going into the new year; and know that if you keep seeking Him in everything that you do then you will always win.  It may not seem like it in the moment but God will forever rein and I hope you find peace in that today.
