Preparation

2014 was a difficult year for me and many others. As I lie in bed this morning reflecting on the past year, I am both grateful and expectant. I am grateful 2014 is over and the new year brings a fresh start. I am grateful for the Grace of God that encamped me. I am expectant because I too believe that "hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." Surely the hardships of this year were a part of the preparation needed for things to come! I cannot resent, regret, or resist the challenges that mold me for my life's purpose. 
May 2015 exceed expectations. 
May it be a year of harvest. 
May we move closer to our destinies this year than the year before.
Happy New Year!
