2013

     It started off with a bang! I was in a band and we were really good. We played for different youth groups and churches and things went so well. I'd finally gotten over all the ex girlfriend drama.... Man things were going so good, but somewhere along the way it got tough. It got real tough. The band broke up, and in the midst of that, which I think I'm ready to admit that I put on a much stronger face about it than I really wanted to, I lost my will to write. I lost my will to do a lot of things..... 

    Near the end of the year I had to drag myself to spending time reading the bible and in prayer, and I had to drag myself to be honest with accountability partners about things I just didn't really care to be honest about. I had to drag myself to be a leader when I really didn't feel like it... I had to do a lot of dragging myself....

Sometimes I did a much better job of it than others. I had good weeks and bad weeks....

But I can honestly say I've gotten stronger through it all.

December 2013 I felt God pulling me closer to Him, not that He wasn't the whole time, I just couldn't see it past the thought of dragging myself... The truth is that He was strengthening me to make it through things that I couldn't make it through without Him. He still is and I see that now. I don't know what 2014 holds, but I do know that God is with me. Through the ups and the downs, He will never leave me nor forsake me. 

He works all things together for my good and my good is to be made more into the likeness of Christ!

The future is an exciting and scary thought...

LETS DO THIS!!!!
