Goodbye 2014

As you can see by the title ,I am more than happy to say goodbye to 2014!! I can’t help but reflect what, I am leaving behind!! 2014 will be a year ,I will never forget!! I lost two of the greatest people in my life, my mother and brother!! I embrace every memory of them and I walk on with no regret at all!! I loved , honored and respected both with all my heart and all my soul as they did towards me!! What a great blessing it is to me,to be able to enter 2015 embracing the fondest ,most wonderful memories  of these two amazing lives!! 2014  was a year of tears, mistakes and lessons well learned!! It was also a  year of joy and pride in two of the most amazing people I am blessed to call ,my children!! Charley and Sarah have given me more joy than I ever thought possible..Two totally different people and yet both on the same page!! My kids are my rocks!! We have had much and we have had little ,but nevertheless,we have had!! To say the least and I am sure you have seen on my Face Book,I am a very proud mother and rightfully so!! I know the driving force behind me is ,My God!! If not for my faith,I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this letter to you,my friends!! It is the very reason for my existence and the very reason,I am able to keep on keeping on!! I thank God for His love towards me,His forgiveness towards me and for every breath He allows me to breath!! He is my savior,the lifter of my head,the great I am, the lover of my soul ,the prince of my peace! He truly is the name above all names!! As we enter into a new year ,I encourage all of us to above all ,love one another…I want to find myself busy in the things that will glorify ,edify ,build up and restore…at all cost we need to find ourselves far from what tears down and destroys… I encourage everyone to refrain from gossip, judging others ( less you judge yourself first) to be kind, giving ,forgiving and remember ,we all fall short and no one is exempt from making mistakes and having failures… Mistakes and failures are as vital to ones life as is, great choices and success!! Both serve a purpose!! Now ,I want to quote one of my favorite apostles (Paul) writings “

Philippians 3:12

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
