Why hello there 2013!

I posted this on my FB page and decided to put it here as well...

My year in review...

Had I not of walked the path and journey I did, I would not be where I am today. Where I am supposed to be. Where I have come from. I wouldn't change a thing that happened to me, in me, and through me in 2012. The things that took place, needed too. They were vital. After all, I asked the Lord at the side of the boat if it was him. He said it was, and asked me to come to him. I did.

It didn't matter how afraid I was. After all, I am a boat jumper you see. And water-walk I did. Did I fall? Yep. Did I sink? Yep. Did I have victory? Uh-huh. Did I learn? Yes. Did he pluck me out of the water and say, "You of little faith", yes. Did he cause such great change within me that I am a new person? Yes. Did he cause me to let go of many things? Yes he did that too. Did he show himself to be faithful through it all? Yes he did mightily. Did he stir within such happiness that hadn't ever existed before? Yes he certainly did.

I really wasn't afraid because I wasn't alone, ever. All I had to do was be willing and I was. So as I sit here and reflect on the end of 2012 I can honestly say, I am thankful for going through it all. Every last thing. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat because it got me where I am today. And in my today, I shall not look back but forward to the journey of my 2013.

Bring it on!

In a nutshell this is where I am and what's going on. I am looking forward into 2013. I must admit, I hardly keep up with my blog these days. It seems as though FB is gaining more popularity with posts but even then I don't have a lot of time these days to sit and scrap my day away. I yearn for it at times and other times I feel as if it is a season of letting it go. My life has completely changed. Having to work has really taken the steam out of me and I can hardly sit anymore or find the time to do so and scrap. I miss it greatly. I miss being able to be creative, I feel kinda lost from it and that saddens me. Recently though, I was asked by Heidi from GCD Studios to create some things for CHA. Finding the time was hard, but having a task that where there was a deadline worked for me because it literally forced my hand to scrap. That might sound bad, but it was a needed push to get me going and once I did, I really enjoyed the process of it all! As I said, I miss it greatly. 

Doing these allowed me to realize its still there. The yearning to be creative with supplies I love. It's just finding that balance in incorporating it into my life to do that! I will. It will come when another season does. Let's just hope its rather quick in coming!!!

Hope the start of your 2013 is going happening with a bang!!!!
