Description: A Journey of Growth and Exploration
Looking back, 2016 was a year of contradictions.
I’ve seen people born…and people die. I’ve witnessed weddings… and divorces. I’ve walked with friends in their victories… and in their failures. I’ve drawn close to Jesus… and I’ve pushed Him away. I’ve sat still… and I’ve run full-steam ahead. I’ve trusted… and I’ve doubted. I’ve spoken words of life… and spoken words of hurt. I’ve both lost… and gained friendships. I’ve walked in favor… and frustration at work. I’ve felt both constrained… and freed. I’ve seen gains… and losses in my personal disciplines.
This past year tested me on every level and left me clinging to Jesus for daily bread on more than a handful of occasions. I’ve fought really hard this year. I’ve dug really deep. I’ve gotten my hands dirty so often that I’ve simply become used to the stains under my fingernails.
