The sign in my mother’s kitchen
As I reflect on 2014, blessings come to mind. And so do burdens. Prayers that were answered, and other prayers that remain unanswered. Friends who stood by me, and others who avoided me. Days when I had health and energy, and other days when I was so tired I felt I couldn’t hold my head up one more moment. Times to relax, and times of enormous stress. Hope that filled my heart, and disappointments that crushed my spirit. The prospects of living through another roller-coaster year are almost daunting. I know it will be another year of faith-stretching, faith-building, faith-strengthening experiences. Another year of waiting…of looking up…for His return.
