Pray for Strength

Today is the first day of the new year, and truth be told ... I haven't had real time to reflect on 2014.  But, going through my old pictures on FB, I came across this quote from Bruce Lee.  I don't recall to why I posted the picture; I didn't go through any hardship in 2014.  But, none the less, the quote is a good one. 

Life has given  me a few bumps in the road for me to grow.  I learned about how emotionally strong I could be, how I didn't die without certain individuals in my life, how I can move on pass anger and/or resentment, and how I've grown after all the pain and disappointment.

2014 has been great to me.  I shed tears of sorrow and tears of joy.  I've welcomed a new brother in law, and a new niece.  On the same day I attended my first "The Piano Guys" concert (LOVED it!), my boyfriend became my fiance.  I made the move back to my old work place and was greeted with smiles.  I am so proud of my sister for finishing nursing school.  I got to celebrate my mother's birthday on a cruise with 90% of my family.  And, I'm sure if I think extra hard, I can recall all the "not so happy" moments of 2014.  But, who would want to dwindle in that.  

God has continued to bless me.  He gives me strength.  With His guidance, I am blessed.
