Two thousand and fifteen has come and gone!
Two thousand and sixteen is upon us.
That really blows my mind! I literally blinked and 2015 was over! Why is it that individual days throughout the year can go by so slowly but when you look back at it all and in a larger scope time passes by very quickly.

God is a big God and I am so blessed to walk through life with His help! It is amazing to look back on different seasons of the year and wonder how I made it through. 2015 would have been a completely different year if not for my relationship with Jesus.
I never would have thought that 2015 would have brought some of the exciting things that it did.
Sammi's wedding

These are just some of the adventures that I got to partake in this last year! But 2016 is a new year and I love to reminisce as much as the next women, I know I need to look ahead to what's to come.
I decided to make my goals this year rather simple and practical. I have made many goals in the past that on the outset sounds like a lot of fun and something I really wanted to make happen but then as life went on that year, I was not able to make it a priority or I set too many goals for the year that some just slipped through the cracks while I worked on others.
1. Pay off the rest of my debt
2. Weekly write in a gratitude journal
3. Visit the Clark family
4. Read 12 need books
5. Get back into blogging more
I believe these five goals are going to be very practical for me this year and I am excited to start on them and see them come to fruition.
One other thing...
I have never done this before but this year I decided to choose a word for the year and make that my focus. I want to make this year the best that it can be and I thought that giving it a theme of sorts would help keep my focus.
This year I am choosing JOY!
I am looking forwarded to the wonderful, joyful moments that I know this year will bring. And even though I know this year could bring more trials I want to be joyful in all seasons.
Like is says in Romans 5 - I want to rejoice in my trails along with the blessings because I know that both are made to develop something in me that the Lord knows I need. I believe keeping up with my gratitude journal each week is going to allow me to focus on the blessings from the Lord and keep the joy alive!
