Rejoice! {The End of 2012}

Another year is winding down already, and I have posted on this blog exactly twice. Quite an accomplishment, right? There are a few posts that were begun and never completed; a couple that were completed and never published…. until now. Those two are below. Sometimes I write these thoughts down when I’m riled up and decide not to publish them later for fear that I might offend someone. Realizing now that approximately five people (if that) are actually reading here, I decided if I’m going to offend anyone, it’s better the few than the many. So, read away… and maybe I’ll dig back into my archives of Drafts and publish some more for your offensive reading enjoyment.

That being said, I would like to keep up with this blog more in 2013. You could say it’s a resolution… again. But really the best thing about posting on a blog online is being able to read back on all the silly/embarrassing/semi-insightful thoughts I’ve had over the years. Plus, I can type faster than I can write, so it’s easier than keeping a written journal.

2012 has been a big year for us, and to sum it all up I’ve put together a list of highlights from the year… it’s been filled with some wonderful experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.

Phillipians 4:4-9 

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
